TT&S Annual Conference & Vendor Showcase

We look forward to you joining us for the next TT&S Annual Conference and Vendor Showcase!

Keynote:

Robert Martin, Ph.D.; President/CEO of Elevate Business Solutions

Dr. Robert Martin combines his lifelong passion for learning with a servant leadership approach, measuring his success not by personal achievement, but by the positive impact he has on others’ growth and development. Never one to label himself a “trainer” – a term he reserves for those who work predominantly with animals – he instead considers himself a “facilitator.” Through thoughtful questioning, meaningful discussion, and engaging activities, Robert has the ability to draw out participants’ ideas and encourage them to think in new ways.

With over 20 years of experience in public education as both a science teacher and school administrator, Robert’s leadership has left a lasting legacy. One of his proudest professional accomplishments was helping Minot High School Central Campus earn national recognition as a Professional Learning Community (PLC) Model School in 2010. To date, Minot High School Central Campus remains the only school in North Dakota history awarded this prestigious honor. In 2015, Robert earned his Ph.D. in Educational Leadership, further solidifying his commitment to continuous personal and professional growth.

Connecting the World:

Introduction to the Broadband Services Industry Mini-Conference for Students

Learn about the industry that connects the world through a multitude of devices--computers, televisions, gaming, cell phones, and more! Excellent opportunities with great pay and benefits await.

In this free mini conference concurrent with our Annual Conference and Vendor Showcase, select students from schools in our member company territories have the opportunity to learn from some of our best industry instructors in broadband technology and fiber optics training and try some hands-on work. Students will gain insight into the companies that connect their devices to the world and the work behind it in consideration of their career goals. TT&S is working to make this a fun educational opportunity for students, including the chance to visit with our employees in attendance at our annual conference and the vendors in our vendor showcase. 

If you are a teacher or homeschool parent with a student or are a student interested in attending, please visit our Student Mini-Conference page for details.

Watch for updates in the fall for the 2027 event!
