Cowen and Company is excited to announce its 2nd Annual Communications Infrastructure Summit at the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder, CO, on Tuesday, August 9th. The dual track summit will include a balanced number of company presentations and thematic panels focusing on the three aspects of communications infrastructure including fiber, co-location, and towers. While there are many investor/industry conferences that touch on various aspects of each group, our intention is to more holistically compare/contrast each business and identify themes that run across the groups that we hope will provide a better appreciation of thematic tailwinds and investment opportunities present in their businesses.

The Summit will kick off the morning of the 8th, with a golf tournament open to all attendees, but space is limited. Golf will be followed by a late afternoon “Bandwidth and Brews” pub crawl co-hosted by Zayo and Level 3. Bandwidth and Brews will include a few “communications” oriented talks and conclude with a BBQ reception that evening at the St. Julien Hotel. In addition, we will host workshops the morning of the Summit led by industry experts on topics including fiber supply/demand trends, data center supply/demand trends, and small cells/DAS. Attendees will include a broad range of buy-side, private equity, and corporate executives. We look forward to seeing you in beautiful Boulder!

Look for registration details in early May.
