About CCA
CCA’s events bring together leaders from across the competitive communications industry to explore smart business strategies, technology innovations, policy developments, and new opportunities in an increasingly connected world. Our events attract senior decision-makers from communications service providers nationwide and provide a unique forum for meaningful conversations, collaboration, and industry insight.
Through robust educational programs, valuable networking opportunities, and timely policy discussions, attendees gain important insights into the issues shaping the future of connectivity. CCA events also provide access to key policymakers and thought leaders from Washington, D.C., offering important updates and perspectives on the legislative and regulatory developments impacting competitive carriers and the communities they serve.
CCA Summit
Held annually in Washington, D.C., the CCA Summit brings together communications industry leaders for timely insights, meaningful conversations, and valuable connections. Attendees hear directly from leading policymakers and Washington insiders, gain expert perspectives on the policy and technology issues shaping the industry, and connect with peers from across the competitive communications ecosystem.
Open to both CCA members and non-members, the CCA Summit offers a unique opportunity to engage with the policymakers and industry experts influencing the future of connectivity and the issues that matter most to communications service providers.
Held the day after the CCA Summit, CCA’s Capitol Hill Day is an exclusive opportunity for CCA members to meet with members of Congress and their staff to talk about CCA’s priority advocacy issues. As CCA’s annual fly-in, Capitol Hill Day gives CCA members a powerful opportunity to share their perspectives, tell their stories, and help policymakers better understand the opportunities and challenges facing rural and regional service providers, their customers, and communities.
CCA Annual Convention
Held each fall in a destination city, CCA’s Annual Convention is a must-attend event for professionals across the communications service provider industry. The Convention features a robust educational program, dynamic keynote speakers, an engaging exhibit hall, and valuable networking opportunities – including a fun opening night, networking breakfasts, happy hour in the exhibit hall, and more.
With sessions spanning business strategy, technology, marketing, policy, and more, the program offers participants relevant insights and takeaways.
CCA members also receive exclusive access to member-only, small-group meetings focused on marketing, technical, and financial discussions. These collaborative conversations provide a unique forum for members to exchange ideas, share experiences, discuss common challenges, and learn from one another.
More than a conference, the CCA Annual Convention is an opportunity to build relationships, discover new ideas and solutions, and connect with the people shaping the future of the competitive communications industry.
“The CCA show is better than some of the large shows as it allows us to focus on a targeted audience and have a level of customer intimacy other venues generally don't have.”

"Mobile Outfitters attended the Competitive Carriers Association 2024 Mobile Carriers Show in Palm Springs, CA, where we introduced our latest on-demand solutions and connected with regional carriers such as Thumb Cellular, Carolina West Wireless, and Union Wireless. It was a pleasure meeting their teams, who immediately recognized the value of our RapidCut on-demand screen protection system and premium films. Since the event, these carriers have adopted our solution in their stores, resulting in significant increases in screen protector sales and customer satisfaction. We’re excited and proud to partner with them to deliver premium screen protection for thousands of devices, both new and classic, while providing excellent service to their customers. Here’s to many more successful partnerships with CCA members!"
