Fiber Connect 2024 is underway, and the Fiber Broadband Association announced that event attendees can earn 10 BICSI Continuing Education Credits (CECs). BICSI’s CEC program was made to “maximize training resources in expanding knowledge while maintaining current credentials in an efficient manner.” The CECs from Fiber Connect 2024 are being posted on BICSI’s website and will be valid for two years.
The event is held from July 28th to 31st this year in Nashville, Tennessee. It includes sessions on deployment strategies, public policy, technical deep dives, a workforce development workshop, and more.
