This year's Cabling Skills Challenge was electric, as 14 BICSI Installers
and Technicians competed in a series of hands-on ICT cabling tasks
in areas involving copper and fiber terminations, OTDR
troubleshooting, mechanical splicing, and more. In addition,
attendees and spectators got in on the fun with exhibitor-hosted
Speed Challenges! Prizes were awarded as always, including
U.S.$5,000 to the 2024 BICSI Installer of the Year.
Filled with more than 120 exhibitors, the Exhibit Hall buzzed with a
wide variety of ICT organizations showing off the latest products and
solutions. Companies represented a variety of manufacturers and
distributors, with services ranging from voice/data solutions to cable
management systems and much more.
BICSI Cares®, BICSI's charitable corporation, chose to benefit the Live
for Brie Foundation this Winter Conference. Live for Brie is a nonprofit
organization that is committed to preventing children from drowning
and helping, through financial and emotional support, those families
who have lost a child in a drowning accident. A donation was presented
to the charity just before the Conference's conclusion.
