Submitting a speaker does not guarantee a speaking role nor commit an individual to participating. CCA receives more speaker interest than we can accommodate. Submissions are reviewed based on relevance, originality, and ability to drive meaningful discussion. Not all submissions will be selected, and CCA will notify submitters prior to the July 4 holiday.

 

All submissions will be added to CCA’s Speaker Database, which remains active for future events.

2026 Annual Convention — New Orleans Sessions

Check any you’d like to be considered for. Please see the descriptions below.

SESSION 1: 

Show Me the Money: What’s Actually Driving New Revenue for Carriers

Track: Growth & Monetization

Everyone is talking about new revenue—private networks, APIs, satellite, wholesale. But what’s actually working?

This session goes beyond the headlines to focus on real operator experience:

  • Where new revenue is being generated today
  • What’s still early—or not delivering
  • What it takes to turn opportunity into revenue

SESSION 2: 

Operator vs. Ecosystem: Who Owns the Customer? Finding the Right Balance in a Changing Partnership Landscape

Track: Growth & Monetization

Everyone wants to partner with regional operators—hyperscalers, satellite providers, MVNOs, and platform players. As these relationships evolve, so does an important question: who owns the customer relationship—and how is value shared?

This session brings operators and ecosystem players together to explore:

  • Where partnerships are creating new value
  • How roles and responsibilities are shifting
  • What it takes to build relationships that support long-term growth

SESSION 3

What Would You Cut? Real Cost Decisions Carriers Are Facing Right Now

Track: Network, Operations & Risk

Cutting costs is easy—until it starts impacting growth, customer experience, or long-term competitiveness.

This session focuses on how operators are making real tradeoffs:

  • Where cost reduction is working
  • Where it’s creating unintended consequences
  • What to cut—and what to protect

SESSION 4

Choosing the Right Access Strategy: Where to Build, Partner, or Walk Away

Track: Network, Operations & Risk

Fiber, fixed wireless, and satellite all have a role—but not everywhere.

This session explores how operators are making real-world investment decisions:

  • Where each approach works best
  • When to build vs. partner
  • Where carriers risk overbuilding, overspending, or missing the opportunity

Based on your selection(s) above, please share what makes your perspective on this/these topics(s) distinctive:
