These sessions are an opportunity to:

• Ask questions and share your feedback directly with state broadband officials.

Your Voice Matters

Broadband access affects everything from education and healthcare to economic growth and community development. As Indiana moves forward with historic broadband funding, the IBO is eager to get information out to communities. These events are open to everyone—residents, business owners, community leaders, educators, farmers, and anyone interested in broadband improvements. 

Whether you’re facing challenges with internet access or just want to stay informed, we encourage you to attend!
