QUISPAMSIS, N.B. – Without the CCTA tagging along this year, the Canadian Cable Systems Alliance gathering in Muskoka in September is scheduled and formatted a bit differently.
Set for September 17 to 19 at the Taboo Resort in Gravenhurst, Ont., it begins on a Sunday this year with a president’s reception. This year’s theme is "Small: The New Big."
Monday is the busiest day with a technical vendor tabletop trade show from 8 a.m. to noon, followed by the annual awards lunch. "There’s a lot of demand for the trade show," said the CCSA’s director of member services, Connie Sprague.
And, since the CCSA has decided to launch a regulatory arm, the main panel discussion Monday afternoon will centre on the Canadian policy scene. That will be followed by a members-only meeting and the board of directors will host a dinner that evening.
With the VOIP decision being reviewed and a television policy review about to get under way, there will be much to discuss during the CRTC-focused panel. "It’ll be all the hot topics," added Sprague. Specific speakers have not yet been confirmed.
Tuesday will be the popular CCSA golf tournament, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
