After convening national leaders at last year’s [Speeding BEAD Summit](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/speeding-bead-summit/) and the inaugural [BEAD Implementation Summit in 2023](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/bead-implementation-summit-2023/), Broadband Breakfast will again bring together government, industry, and finance as the $42.5 billion BEAD program enters its most consequential phase: execution.

[BEAD Implementation 2026](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/bead-implementation-summit/) will focus squarely on what happens after the awards: Deployment, capital, and technology choices that will determine whether BEAD-funded networks are delivered on time, on budget, and at scale.

With billions now moving into construction, states and providers are navigating a new phase focused on deployment realities, capital planning, and technology choices. This summit brings decision-makers together to share what’s working, examine emerging challenges, and align on priorities for the next phase of BEAD implementation.
