NCTA Brings Tech Policy Expertise to TechExpo

This year, NCTA is co-hosting the Technology Policy Track, which is designed to provide a better understanding of government and industry priorities. The track is bringing together government officials and industry leaders to explore public policy developments in areas such as spectrum, broadband, artificial intelligence, and security. NCTA's tech policy experts that will be speaking at panels include:

Where in the World are Broadband Programs Now?

• NCTA's Vice President and Associate General Counsel Pamela Arluk and other industry experts will discuss how initiatives such as BEAD, ACP, and state-specific programs running at the same time can create opportunities and challenges for stakeholders.

GenAI: Risks and Benefits

NCTA's Deputy Chief Legal Officer Russell Hanser joins the panel of government and academic experts to address the cutting-edge policy issues raised by GenAI, discussing how to harness this technology's many benefits best while mitigating or eliminating risks.

Cybersecurity 2025: What Should We Expect?
