VIENNA, VA. — The Communications Forum Luncheon Series, presented by The Media Institute, will kick off its 2026 schedule of gatherings in one month with an appearance from the Administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
Appearing at the February 25 event is Arielle Roth, who also serves as Asst. Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information.
The Communications Forum’s event with Roth is the first of eight luncheon gatherings planned for 2026 at various hotels in downtown Washington, D.C.
Senior officials from the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and Executive Branch agencies are on tap, along with “executives from major media companies and trade associations.”
Speakers in 2025 included Congressman Brett Guthrie, Commissioners Anna Gomez and Nathan Simington, FCC Chief of Staff Scott Delacourt, and NAB President/CEO Curtis LeGeyt, as well as MoffettNathanson Senior Analyst Craig Moffett.
Communications Forum luncheons are not open to the public. “These exclusive events begin with private receptions and offer sponsors and their guests unparalleled access to Washington’s top policymakers and industry leaders,” The Media Institute notes.
