Fiber Connect 2025 to spotlight tribal-led solutions for broadband equity

Tribal Nations will play a key role in shaping the agenda at Fiber Connect 2025, according to a Business Wire announcement by the Fiber Broadband Association. The event, scheduled for June 1–4 in Nashville, will include sessions focused on Tribal digital sovereignty, broadband deployment challenges, and innovation on tribal lands. The FBA’s Tribal Broadband Roundtable curated the programming to highlight best practices and policy discussions.

“Fiber broadband is enabling tribes to transform economic opportunities—creating jobs, improving quality of life, sharing our rich culture, and preserving our traditions and languages,” said Robert Griffin, Tribal Broadband Director for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Tribal attendees will have exclusive access to a networking lounge. Regional discussions will continue at a follow-up event in Scottsdale on October 16.
