TAMPA, Fla. – The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers has announced that Emerging Technologies 2006, which concludes today, attracted 1,028 attendees, a 10% increase over 2005 in Huntington Beach, Calif., and a 51% increase over the last time ET was in Florida, which was 2003 in Miami.
There was no on-site registration this year, due to the fact that ET 2006 sold out last Wednesday, Jan. 4, at which time SCTE began maintaining a waiting list.
The annual conference, which offers cable telecommunications professionals a view three-to-five years into the industry’s engineering future, has been taking place since Tuesday, Jan. 10 at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina in Tampa, Fla.

ET 2007 is set for Tuesday through Thursday, Jan. 23-25, with the location yet to be determined.
