For the first time, the C3 Technology Summit, hosted by SDN Communications, will be held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This year’s event takes place September 22–23, 2025, at the newly opened Canopy by Hilton, located near Falls Park.
Designed to unite broadband and middle-mile network providers, the summit centers on three critical themes: Connectivity, Capacity, and Content. Each session delivers relevant insights and practical strategies to help attendees navigate an ever-evolving telecommunications landscape.
Connectivity
At the heart of broadband is connectivity and the ability to link people, devices, and businesses without interruption. Sessions will explore innovations in network architecture, next-generation voice networks, and strategies to help maintain a high-performance connection and account for aging fiber. Attendees will gain valuable insights into maintaining a reliable network.
Capacity
Capacity is all about preparing networks to handle current needs while planning for future growth. The summit will address challenges like aging infrastructure, middle-mile planning, and forecasting methodologies to ensure networks can meet rising demand. Participants will leave with strategies to maximize efficiency without sacrificing performance.
Content
Content focuses on the services and information the fiber networks carry. From service centralization to operational innovations, sessions will provide actionable insights on optimizing content delivery, protecting data, and enhancing the customer experience. Attendees will learn how to improve their networks to help deliver real value.
“The real value of the C3 Technology Summit isn’t just in the topics we’ll cover, it’s in the connections. By bringing together middle-mile network providers who face the same challenges, we create the conversations and collaborations that move us forward.”
