The Arctic Economic Council invites you to attend the Top of the World Arctic Broadband Summit that will be held on July 13-14 in Barrow, Alaska. Co-hosts include the Iñuit Arctic Business Alliance and the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation.

As broadband usage continues to skyrocket across the globe, communities without access to broadband will become even more isolated from the world, depriving them of the economic, social, civic, and political engagement that is needed to survive in the 21st century.

With the eyes of the world looking north, it is vital for some of the most remote areas on Earth to have reliable high-speed communications technologies. The Arctic holds vast potential for technological advancement and as a thought leader, your active engagement is needed to catapult this region forward.

Summit topics include the challenges of connectivity; the government’s role in, and commitment to, broadband development; and, private investment opportunities. Policy leaders, regulators, other government officials, along with industry experts and executives have been invited to present and attend.
