Registration Opens for the National Tribal Broadband Summit

The Summit empowers Tribal communities through connectivity and innovation

Chandler, AZ — Today, the National Tribal Telecommunications Association (NTTA)
announced that registration is open for the 2025 National Broadband Summit. The
event will be held at Wild Horse Pass Resort & Casino, located within Gila River Indian
Community, from March 31-April 2, 2025, with a golf tournament taking place at
Whirlwind Golf Club on March 31. This year, the summit moves to a national conference
platform, featuring a larger gathering in the spring and potential regional summits later
in the year at different locations

The National Tribal Broadband Summit brings together Tribal leaders, grant applicants
and awardees, and industry experts to explore critical topics about shaping the digital
future for Tribal communities. Presentations throughout the event will focus on federal
broadband network funding opportunities, building and managing tribal broadband
networks, broadband equipment and services, and promoting digital equity and
inclusion.

“Federal and state grant money has been already awarded for Tribal communities to
help build out their broadband networks. Now is the time for us to come together to plan
and talk about what that means for Tribes,” said Godfrey Enjady, board president of
NTTA. “The Tribal Broadband Summit is critical for collaboration that will lead to a more
prosperous and connected future.”

In addition to attendee and golf tournament registration, sponsorship opportunities are
available. Organizations can align themselves with the critical mission of expanding
broadband access, fostering economic growth, and enhancing educational and healthcare
services in Tribal areas. Furthermore, sponsors can engage with key stakeholders, experts,
and Tribal leaders, fostering valuable partnerships and networking opportunities. The full
sponsorship packet can be accessed here.

Whirlwind Golf Club, a truly unique Southwest golf course sensitively designed to preserve
the rich cultural heritage of the Gila River Indian Community, will host the NTTA Golf
Tournament on Monday, March 31. Golf sponsorships and individual registrations are
available here.

Registration is now open on the event website.
