At GLDS’ BroadHub Annual Meetup (BAM!) you’ll gain critical insight from industry leaders as they share their broadband successes and set-backs. You’ll also hear how these operators leverage GLDS and integrated partner solutions to help grow their business, and thrill their customers.
GLDS will share what’s changed with our solutions over the last year and discuss what we have planned in the years ahead. That’s where you come in. We look to our users to validate our development direction, and to tell us what we should be working on. We like to say that GLDS solutions are “crowd-sourced” where our customers are the ones that decide what we build as well as how and when we build it. Our annual meet-up is your opportunity to be part of that “crowd.”
In addition, we’ll train you on the latest and greatest and make sure you go home empowered to make a difference in your networks!
Those who’ve been before know that BAM! is often the best networking event of the year – an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Who Should Attend BAM?
BAM! is designed to communicate, to teach, and to provide a forum for discussion with GLDS, and with industry peers. Anyone who would like to participate in that kind of dialog should plan to attend.
That said, we most commonly see billing system managers, general managers, provisioning managers, billing analysts, and other similar positions. If you have any influence over, or are a material user of, back office broadband systems, you should be here.
Come Prepared to Make a Difference
Please bring a laptop, pre-configured with remote access into your production BroadHub and SuperController platforms. Plan to dig in and make a difference on your own system. To make the most of the event, operators should ensure they upgrade to the latest General Availability release of BroadHub prior to the event.
Want to Bring A Guest to BAM?
While not intended for the sessions themselves, we’re happy to have your guests join us for lunches/dinners and activities. Register your guest separately using the Bring A Guest option and we’re happy to handle billing in a way that’s most convenient for you.

Where is BAM?
Our hometown, Carlsbad, California. We’re returning to the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa. With beautiful, contemporary, Mediterranean architecture, rolling lawns, and panoramic ocean views, the hotel offers wireless Internet, full-service business center, a boutique spa and fitness center.
GLDS BAM! attendees will receive special room rates at $249 per night inclusive of resort fees, parking and unlimited Internet for single and double occupancy. To book now, visit the BAM! Westin Booking Site, or call +1 760-827-2800 and say, “I’m coming for the GLDS BAM!23 conference” when making your reservation. The GLDS Room Block expires April 7th, after which neither rates nor room availability are guaranteed. NOTE: GLDS has negotiated special rates, which include a waiver of daily resort and parking fees. While the Sheraton isn’t capable of showing this waiver on their booking site, guests will not be charged the $20/night resort fee quoted when making online reservations.
What else do you need to know?
Airline & Ground Transportation
The conference hotel is in Carlsbad, CA about 30 miles north of the San Diego airport (SAN). Our favorite way of getting around lately is Uber/Lyft which will get you to the hotel for about $70 – more or less depending on the time of day. If you’d prefer a car, they’ve got plenty of options. During the conference, transportation to and from meals, activities and off-site sessions will be provided.
Meals/Activities
Group meals (Dinner Thursday night is on your own) and activities during the event are included in the registration price.
BAM! Philosophy
All Work and No Play… is out of the question! So, after we’ve completed each day’s sessions, we’ll do the town together. You’ll get to sample some of the best local cuisine and rub shoulders with the GLDS staff, network with other BroadHub users, and rest your brain (temporarily). What could be better?
What to Wear
Expect a casual, comfortable experience and dress accordingly. Bring a jacket or sweater – this is spring, not summer and we’ll be at, or near, water many times during the event – it could be cold. Please dress warmly. You can get an idea of average temperatures here.
Still have Questions?
Got a question about the schedule, the hotel, activities or more?
GLDS offers a best-of-suite platform that has been pre-integrated with more than 80 certified solution partners which extend the reach of both BroadHub and SuperController. We see many of these partners as an extension of our team and are pleased to include them as we seek solutions to today’s broadband challenges together.
BAM!23 will continue to be customer-centric with an emphasis on helping those in attendance (GLDS team members, our customers and our partners) understand the needs of the industry we serve. BAM!23 will not host an “Expo,” but will instead integrate GLDS certified interface partners into sessions and activities with the goal of sitting shoulder-to-shoulder as we solve problems.
