Driving economic development by allowing virtual workplace collaboration with no geographic boundaries

On June 12, 2018, Mediacom will present an invitation-only Revolutionize Your Business Technology Showcase at The Forge in Des Moines, Iowa, to demonstrate to business owners, government officials, and technology innovators, how these faster internet speeds of 60, 100, 300 Mbps and 1 Gbps are giving small business owners across Iowa a competitive advantage in today’s “Gig Economy.”

Dan Templin, Senior Vice President of Mediacom Business, said technology thought leaders will provide an exclusive, in-depth look inside cutting-edge technology enabled by Gigabit bandwidth speeds, showing small business owners in Iowa how to leverage the infrastructure that made Iowa the #1 ranked state by U.S. News and World Report.

Subject matter experts will include special guest Debi Durham, Director of the Iowa Economic Development Authority; Mark Holtman, Head of Pillar Technology Labs at The Forge; Jeff Leget, Vice President of Information Technology at CableLabs, formed by the cable television industry to build the foundational technology that now connects communities and industries through research, development, and innovation; and Tom Cheli, CEO of Frequence, a developer of comprehensive, location-based digital advertising campaigns for brands and agencies.
