A Broadband Forum for Western Massachusetts:

In consultation with Representative Kulik and Senator Rosenberg the March 1st Broadband Forum for Western Massachusetts was cancelled due to heavy snow warnings for the Northampton area.

The decision to cancel and reschedule was extremely difficult, but in the end concerns for the safety of over 270 attendees traveling from throughout the region was the deciding factor.

On behalf of Senator Rosenberg and Representative Kulik, MTC’s John Adams Innovation Institute wishes to express our appreciation for your interest and our commitment to providing you with an even better event in the coming months.

Please check back to our events page for updates on rescheduling http://www.masstech.org/broadband/events.html
