The Year's Biggest Fiber to the Home Event!

Everything FTTH Under One Roof

This year we return to the fabulous Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, where nearly 2000 people from across the FTTH industry will gather to share experiences, learn about new fiber access technologies and ways to market them to consumers, and walk the floor of the FTTH industry's biggest and best trade show, with more than 130 exhibitors.

There is still exhibition space available, but booths are going fast - more than 75% of floor space is sold.  Email exhibition@legendconferences.com to find out more.

If you were in Houston last September for our 2009 conference, you know that attendance was as strong as ever - proof positive that the troubled economy is not slowing the march to all-fiber access!  And the 2010 FTTH Conference & Expo promises to be an even bigger and better event for everyone, whether you are involved in making fiber to the home equipment, building FTTH networks, delivering next-generation video and Internet services over all-fiber networks - or perhaps just thinking about getting into this exciting industry!
 
More than 50 panels and track sessions.  Best practices and lessons learned. Hands-on demonstrations of all the latest home and business technologies in the Fiber Zone.  And a focus on marketing strategy and business success.  This is the one FTTH event of the year that you cannot afford to miss!
