We are excited to announce that the BASe Technical Summit 2024 (formerly known as UFBB) and 2024 USP Summit, concurrently held with its Spring 2024 quarterly meeting in Mainz, Germany will be taking place from March 7-8, 2024.


Carrying on from the tradition of carefully curated topics of previous UFBB, USP Summit, and BASe events we will examine the future technology innovation and current hottest topics and challenges in broadband today.


Unlike many events, The BASe Technical and USP Summit is designed to meet the requirements for more technical discussion, technical advancements, real life implementations, testing and strategic technical planning as well as valuable peer-to-peer networking.


This year the BASe Summit will take place in conjunction with the Broadband Forum Spring member Meeting and aligned with the 2024 USP Summit. This face-to-face event will include 2 days of main plenary sessions, roundtables, video demonstrations, networking and social opportunities, sponsor desk-top booths and private meeting facilities.


Joining both the Broadband Forum Spring member meeting and the BASe Technical and USP Summit? Receive a $300 discount at registration.
