| Workshop A: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM |
| Preparing an RFP: Achieving the results you want |
For municipalities looking at a wireless network for the first time, the early challenges are mainly in presenting a business case that highlights the pluses and explains the costs involved in relation to the potential for efficiencies, scalability, and safety, among other benefits. Following this is the challenge of tailoring your RFP to your unique
needs and capabilities.
Doing so in an adverse economic climate is an even stiffer challenge, yet the ultimate payoff of a successful wireless deployment can more than make the case. This workshop will take you through the process of preparing an RFP and answer your most urgent questions, leaving you ready to take the successes of wireless networks elsewhere and bring them to your municipality!
Learn five key aspects of the process and tap into the broad expertise of our workshop facilitator.

| Developing a strong business case in order to secure government funding for your broadband deployment plans |
Newly announced federal funding for broadband deployments in rural/ under-served regions presents a significant opportunity for Canadian municipalities to bring the benefits of a high-speed wired or wireless network to their communities. However, it is essential to have a firm grasp of the procedure of applying for funds, presenting a viable and convincing business case and ensuring that all the necessary details
of application are taken care of in a timely and efficient manner.
This workshop takes a step-by-step approach to securing government grant funding by analyzing the process, the requirements, what Industry Canada is looking for, how to present your case convincingly, and all other crucial aspects of your application.
Attend and gain five key strategies that will comprehensively prepare
you to secure funding and make our broadband vision a reality. |
