The free online live stream will be held on Feb. 16 from 2-3 pm CST/3-4 pm ET.
We will unpack how local communities are working with their states to challenge the FCC’s broadband maps, bringing together local stakeholders, policy advocates, and GIS and Data Visualization Specialists in one place. We will also cover local organizing for better broadband and the latest on the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
The event, which this year is being sponsored by UTOPIA Fiber, will cover:
Mapping Tools
- What is the latest on FCC map drama?
- What should local governments be doing around mapping?
- What should states be doing on mapping?
Organizing Local Digital Equity Coalitions
- Role of Bootcamps

The livestream will be available on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitch, with live viewer questions answered by the panels. Stay tuned for those links here.
