CFO to discuss capital allocation and technology investments at New York symposium

CFO Curtis Millen will participate in a fireside chat at the Barclays Communications and Content Symposium in New York on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 9:10 a.m. Eastern, Bell Canada’s parent BCE Inc. announces from Montréal. The session is available live via webcast on BCE’s website and is expected to cover the company’s financial strategy, network investment plans and market outlook for its fibre, wireless and enterprise services.

Millen’s appearance frames BCE’s push to marry next‑generation network buildouts with cloud‑native and AI‑driven services that the company says keep customers “connected, informed and entertained.” The discussion is set to underline ongoing capital deployment in fibre expansion and wireless capacity, and how those infrastructure investments support higher‑margin enterprise cloud offerings and digital media distribution across Canada and for multinational customers.

The fireside chat also serves BCE’s investor relations agenda at a high‑profile industry gathering, giving analysts and corporate customers direct access to senior finance leadership. BCE indicates the webcast will be archived on its site, allowing remote stakeholders to review Millen’s remarks on strategy, cost discipline and how technology initiatives feed into long‑term revenue streams and customer retention.

Market position and communications

BCE reiterates its description as Canada’s largest communications company by total revenue and combined customer connections, stressing leadership in advanced fibre and wireless networks, enterprise services and digital media. The company directs interested parties to Bell.ca and BCE.ca for further corporate and investor materials.

Financing and distribution details

The announcement is distributed via CNW/PR Newswire from Montréal and accompanies other corporate notices, including reference in related releases to a C$1.5 billion aggregate principal offering of hybrid notes. BCE identifies its TSX and NYSE listings and positions the symposium participation as part of broader stakeholder engagement.
