Questions won't be interesting. A whole bunch of chucklehead @$$ kissers will show up and ask some planted questions.

Not one of you who complains about the Stream tyranny will show up and ask anything meaningful.

Admission is now free to "qualified attendees" (telco employees and just about any including self-employed consultants)

His keynote address should be called How to run a successful business into the ground and make millions doing it.

The only way they let the CEO of WINQ speak at the event is because he sponsored the event.

Who wants to hear how to run a company into the ground on record time.

Getting millions and millions of dollars for running a company into the ground is a pretty big accomplishment.

The ISE EXPO is in late September in Ft. Worth, Texas. It’s one of the big telco (especially OSP) shows of the year.

Mr. Thomas is the opening speaker on the 25th:
https://iseexpo.com/sessions/opening-keynote-address/

“Join Tony Thomas, President & Chief Executive Officer, Windstream, on Wednesday, September 25th, 2019, as he shares how network transformation is at the core of delighting customers.”

If you’re in the area, you may be able to get a free pass from a vendor. Exhibitors are given a certain number to give to customers.

I do not know if there will be questions taken from the audience.

The keynote sponsor is Fujitsu.

If you look thru the finances deep enough you will most likely find the company paid to have this article written.

And who in their right mind wants to be mentored by our CEO? WOW

Couldn't agree more. What kind of a magazine asks a failure what his insights are? If he had ANY good insights his company would not be in Chap 11. Quite laughable, actually....
