STAC 2024, Canada’s premier tower industry event, will be taking place March 26 – 27, 2024 at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre.
I am a long time supporter of the annual STAC Conference. The event is the annual gathering of the Structure, Tower and Antenna Council, a group administered within the Canadian Telecommunications Association.
STAC 2024 brings together the people who physically construct Canada’s telecommunications networks. As I have written before, I have frequently been jealous of people who work in construction. At the end of a shift, those workers can see what they accomplished. That is a huge advantage over the kinds of longer range jobs that I have had.
The event is dedicated to tower safety in Canada. The annual STAC conference is a vibrant forum for sharing crucial insights and best practices that are vital to maintaining Canada’s renowned tower safety record. Located at Vancouver’s downtown Sheraton Wall Centre, STAC 2024 is expected to unite more than 300 professionals from across Canada’s communications and tower industry, spanning wireless carriers, broadcasters, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, landowners, safety equipment suppliers, and safety trainers, among others.
We have clearly seen the essentiality of these dedicated telecommunications professionals:
- as the communications industry continues to extend service to rural and remote areas;
- communications services providers reinforce network resilience in the face of changing weather patterns; and
- carriers enhance and expand 5G networks in urban, rural and private applications.
STAC 2024 represents an opportunity for them to convene, interact, celebrate successes, and learn from each other.
STAC and the STAC 2024 Conference & Exhibition are administered by the Canadian Telecommunications Association, which is dedicated to building a better future for Canadians through connectivity. Through its advocacy initiatives, research, and events, the Association works to promote the importance of telecommunications to Canada’s economic growth and social development and advocate for policies that foster investment, innovation, and positive outcomes for consumers. In additiona to STAC, the Association also facilitates industry initiatives, such as the Mobile Giving Foundation Canada, Canadian Common Short Codes, and wirelessaccessibility.ca.
