ACI is pleased to announce that the
Second Annual FCC Boot Camp will take place in San Francisco, CA at the Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf on June 27-29, 2016. The comprehensive agenda was developed in conjunction with industry leaders and designed specifically to help professionals that work with the telecommunications, satellite, wire line, wireless, and cable industries-as well as spectrum negotiators, engineers, and industry in-house counsel-a strong working knowledge of core FCC competencies.
Stephanie Butler, Division Manager with ACI, stated, “We are proud to bring such an esteemed group of speakers comprised of the nation’s leading FCC experts who will share their business, legal, and regulatory knowledge on how companies can successfully navigate the complex regulatory structure. Not only will attendees learn about how the current Incentive Auction will have a lasting impact on businesses, they will also learn about how to minimize the risk of FCC enforcement activity against their company.”
Butler went on to state that, “This Boot Camp has been designed to respond to the needs of the industry and the rapidly evolving technology space. As the burden on spectrum increases, speakers will address how to obtain more spectrum specific to your business. In addition, as privacy and data security remains a major point of concern, this program will discuss the FCC’s role in privacy matters. Of course, the agenda will continue to feature practical business, technology, and regulatory strategies that will help companies develop practical strategies in response to ongoing matters.”
