In-person MATSS canceled for October 2020

In the interest of good health practices during these difficult times, organizers have canceled the 2020 Mid-America Telecom Showcase & Seminar previously scheduled for Oct. 14-16 in Kansas City, Missouri.

The cancellation is a disappointment to MATSS planners as well as individuals and organizations that take advantage of this annual education and networking event. We continue to explore alternative ways to exchange information within our industry here in the Midwest until we are able to gather again.

In the meantime, please contact us if you have questions.

Stay tuned for information about the 2020 Mid-America Telecom Showcase & Seminar

Details for the event, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 19-21, 2020, remain indefinite pending clearer information on how to proceed given the COVID-19 pandemic.

As soon as information is available, MATSS organizers will notify telephone companies, association members and vendors regarding:

  • Sponsorships
  • Registration information
  • Accommodations
