CHANDLER, AZ – The National Tribal Telecommunications Association (NTTA) announced that registration is now open for the 2025 National Broadband Summit. The event will be held at Wild Horse Pass Resort & Casino, located within Gila River Indian Community, from March 31-April 2, 2025, with a golf tournament taking place at Whirlwind Golf Club on March 31. This year, the summit moves to a national conference platform, featuring a larger gathering in the spring and potential regional summits later in the year at different locations.
The National Tribal Broadband Summit brings together tribal leaders, grant applicants and awardees, and industry experts to explore critical topics about shaping the digital future for tribal communities. Presentations throughout the event will focus on federal broadband network funding opportunities, building and managing tribal broadband networks, broadband equipment and services, and promoting digital equity and inclusion.
“Federal and state grant money has been already awarded for tribal communities to help build out their broadband networks,” said Godfrey Enjady, Board President of NTTA. “Now is the time for us to come together to plan and talk about what that means for tribes. The Tribal Broadband Summit is critical for collaboration that will lead to a more prosperous and connected future.”
In addition to attendee and golf tournament registration, sponsorship opportunities are available. Organizations can align themselves with the critical mission of expanding broadband access, fostering economic growth, and enhancing educational and healthcare services in tribal areas. Furthermore, sponsors can engage with key stakeholders, experts, and tribal leaders, fostering valuable partnerships and networking opportunities.
Whirlwind Golf Club, a unique Southwest golf course designed to preserve the rich cultural heritage of the Gila River Indian Community, will host the NTTA golf tournament on Monday, March 31.
