Washington, D.C., – Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) today announced two signature events for 2027: the CCA Summit, February 9-10 in Washington, DC, and CCA’s 2027 Annual Convention (Convention), September 13-15 in Palm Springs, CA. The two events offer distinct experiences while bringing together CCA’s core community and the broader communications industry.

CCA Summit - Washington, DC

Next year’s inaugural CCA Summit will bring together carrier leaders, policymakers, regulators, technology executives, and industry partners for a focused discussion on the issues shaping the future of connectivity. The event will build on CCA’s longstanding presence in Washington while broadening the conversation beyond traditional policy discussions.

Attendees will gain a front-row perspective on how decisions made in Washington intersect with the realities of building networks, deploying new technologies, investing in infrastructure, competing in a rapidly changing marketplace, and serving consumers and communities.

Programming will feature influential leaders and conversations bringing together perspectives from government, carriers, and the broader technology ecosystem.

CCA’s 2027 Annual Convention - Palm Springs

CCA’s Annual Convention will return in September as the association’s largest industry event, bringing together competitive carriers and companies from across the communications ecosystem. The Convention will feature an exhibit hall, educational tracks, networking, technology and business discussions, industry partnerships, and opportunities for companies to connect directly with carrier decisionmakers.

“I am very excited about the show lineup for CCA next year and going forward,” said Tim Donovan, President & CEO of Competitive Carriers Association. “CCA is an advocacy-centric organization, and it makes good sense to host one of our annual shows in Washington, DC. Policy decisions do not happen in isolation from technology and business decisions, and the CCA Summit will bring those conversations together in one room and create an opportunity for leaders across our industry to engage directly with the people and issues shaping the future of connectivity.”

Donovan continued, “CCA’s Annual Convention will continue to be CCA’s larger annual event featuring a robust exhibit hall, and we are excited to return to Palm Springs next September. CCA has always been about bringing the competitive communications community together, and the show’s emphasis on education, networking, collaboration, and business development always attracts industry thought leaders and decision makers.”



Registration, sponsorship opportunities, speakers, and additional programming details will be announced in the coming months. Visit www.ccaevents.org for additional information.
