ABOUT THE TRI-STATE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE

The Tri-State Telecommunications Conference is an annual conference sponsored by the Idaho Telecom Alliance, the Utah Rural Telecommunications Association and the Wyoming Telecommunications Association.  The conference rotates each year between the three states, allowing participants the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful resorts in the country.

The Tri-State began in order to allow rural telephone company owners and managers in the mountain states an opportunity to spend time together sharing stories, talking about trends in the industry, as well as the challenges faced by all of the companies.  In addition to renewing telco friendships each year, the owners and managers also look forward to spending time with industry leaders providing products and services to their companies.

The 2013 Tri-State will be held July 30th – August 1st at the Sun Valley Resort in Sun Valley, Idaho.  The Sun Valley Resort is a world-class resort in the mountains of central Idaho.  Summer resort activities include golf, fly fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, and a host of other recreational activities and spa amenities.  The Sun Valley  area is also full of galleries, boutiques and fine dining establishments.

Please contact the Conference Coordinator, Kate Creswell, Executive Director of the Idaho Telecom Alliance, for additional information.
