Wireless Forum 2026

We are excited to announce the New York State Wireless (NYSWA) Wireless Educational Forum is back in NYC for its 7th year!

As we celebrate both the 30th anniversary of the Telecommunications Act and our nation’s 250th anniversary, this year’s program features a fireside chat with FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez and WIA President & CEO Patrick Halley, a keynote from Richard Rossi, Executive Vice President and President, U.S. Tower Division at American Tower, and panels on where digital infrastructure capital will flow in 2027 and how new technology will shape telecom policy.

Join us on Monday, November 9, 2026, at The Times Center in New York City for an impactful day of learning, collaboration, and networking. Industry experts and thought leaders from across the telecommunications sector will explore topics spanning fiber infrastructure, data centers, in-building wireless solutions, artificial intelligence, and other next-generation innovations.

Throughout the event, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with colleagues, exchange ideas, share knowledge, and foster meaningful collaboration with educators, innovators, and industry leaders.

The day wraps with a Networking Social at the Castell Rooftop Lounge, providing a unique opportunity to unwind, continue conversations, and build valuable professional connections in a relaxed and scenic setting.

The NYSWA Board of Directors looks forward to welcoming you on November 9 for a day of insight, innovation, and engagement as we celebrate this important milestone for our industry.
