“ We organised the FTTH Meetup, which was a great opportunity to let the attendees talk openly and compare their experiences, and then we became the broker. We now have an ability to follow up to support their enquiries and create a lot of value.”

“ I strongly suggest that you consider attending Metro Connect USA. In the Power Meetup, we had a great number of participants in a closed room where we could share information about anything that goes on in the data center and power world. I view opportunities like this meeting as very useful to developing our business.”

Emilio Vicens, CEO, Gray Oak Power

“ The benefit of attending Metro Connect USA is huge. You’re sitting next to people you have been pursuing or trying to connect with for months. You have to be here to really understand how critical it is for your success.

From the discussions at the Data Center Fiber Meetup, I think we are going to see a greater understanding from the part of land and power owners, of how important it is to speak to fiber providers early in the process of choosing a site for a data center.”

“ Metro Connect has been a great experience. I moderated the AI Infrastructure Meetup, and it was a fantastic way to get a lot of diverse perspectives on the challenges that come with this AI boom, and delivering power, land, connectivity and infrastructure to service the demands of AI today. There is a ton of opportunity that comes with this, for innovation, growth, new solutions and collaborations – And so I can’t wait to be back next year! ”
