THE APEX TIMES
Verizon CEO Dan Schulman to speak at Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia & Technology 2026 conference
The Verizon executive will deliver remarks during the 2026 gathering on September 9, according to a company announcement, as telecom and media companies continue to brief investors on network, growth strategy, and technology investment priorities.
Verizon said its chief executive, Dan Schulman, is scheduled to speak at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology 2026 conference, an investor-focused event that brings together leaders from communications and technology industries.
In its announcement, Verizon placed Schulman’s appearance on the conference agenda for September 9, 2026. The company listed the start time as 11:50 a.m. Eastern, with a corresponding 8:50 a.m. Pacific timing. Verizon also said the session will be available via webcast.
Verizon did not describe the substance of Schulman’s remarks in the company post, including whether the remarks will focus on wireless strategy, broadband performance, enterprise and network services, or other operational themes. The announcement likewise did not specify whether Verizon will provide updated guidance, new financial targets, or forward-looking metrics tied to the event.
The Communacopia & Technology conference series is widely used by investor relations teams in the telecom, media, and technology space as a channel to discuss industry conditions and company priorities with institutional investors. In practice, these events often include prepared remarks and, at times, follow-on discussions or Q&A segments that can reflect near- to medium-term concerns such as capital allocation, demand trends, and technology roadmaps.
For Verizon, the setting matters because communications investors typically look for evidence of execution in core networks and in monetization strategies that connect connectivity to platforms and services. The telecom industry has faced sustained scrutiny around capital spending levels, network modernization timelines, competitive pricing pressure, and how providers balance near-term profitability with longer-term investments.
Verizon’s decision to have its CEO participate indicates the importance the company places on the investor conversation during the conference window. CEO-led appearances are commonly used to frame company direction at a high level and to communicate consistent themes across product categories, including wireless, home internet, and business services, even when the specifics are left for management materials or later earnings updates.
Still, the company’s announcement leaves open many details that investors typically want ahead of time, such as the exact discussion topics and whether Verizon plans to reference current-quarter or full-year financial outlooks. As of the announcement date, Verizon did not indicate any new disclosures beyond the event participation and timing.
What to watch next is whether Verizon shares additional materials or an updated conference agenda page closer to September 9, such as a replay link, a transcript, or a written summary. Investors may also monitor Verizon’s subsequent earnings communications for any themes that align with what Schulman is expected to emphasize at the conference.
Why It Matters
- CEO participation highlights the role of major telecom and technology conferences as a forum for investor communication.
- Investors typically use these events to gauge leadership priorities around network investment, service monetization, and competition in communications markets.
- Because Verizon did not preview specific topics, the upcoming remarks may shape expectations for what the company will emphasize in later financial or operational updates.
- The webcast timing also suggests Verizon is seeking to reach institutional investors beyond a single geography, reflecting the broader investor-relations focus during the conference season.
