It’s not exactly a technical audience but the panels will generally veer towards “how are we deploying our capital”, which may touch on the parts of the “state of the fiber market” that interest you, or they may not. The one thing that may make it valuable is that it’s US-centric, unlike the other industry boondoggles like ITW or PTC. My 1.5 cents says not worthwhile but I also can’t speak to exactly what conversations or audience you might want to be busking for.

You think these sort of folk might be interested in something that
offers more consistent latency over fiber, at 30 cents of CAPEX, and
makes for better wifi?

I've got a new supply of libreqos stickers, and a freshly washed
"bandwidth is a lie' t-shirt, and it is only a 2 hour drive. Hallway
track might be fun.
