Each year the BMMA recognizes teams or companies that demonstrate innovation or excellence in marketing broadband services. ALL vendor and service provider members are strongly encouraged to self-nominate. The awards, which signify superior marketing programs related to broadband services, will be presented at the BMMA 2024 Annual Meeting. Award recipients will be invited to present their programs during the meeting. They will also receive recognition in a general press release and on the BMMA web site. Award “finalists” may be invited to present as a Hot Topic on a monthly webinar.
