EXTON, Pa. — SCTE-ISBE, organizers of the annual Cable-Tec Expo, announced today a global cast of cable companies and organizations has stepped forward to provide sponsorship support for this year’s free virtual event, which will take place October 12-15.
Canada’s Rogers Communications and Shaw Communications, as well as Liberty Global in Europe, Millicom in Latin America, Midco in the United States, and the U.S.’s National Cable Television Cooperative all have become attendee registration sponsors of the all-digital event. Charter Communications, Comcast, Cox Communications and the SCTE Foundation had previously committed sponsorship dollars to make Cable-Tec Expo Virtual Experience free for all attendees.
“While we’ll all miss the collaborative spirit and camaraderie of a live event, Cable-Tec Expo Virtual Experience represents two tremendous opportunities: to share rich educational content with a worldwide audience, and to demonstrate the value of Expo to new potential attendees,” said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE-ISBE, in the organization’s news release. “We’re grateful to all of our sponsors for the roles they are playing in making this historic 2020 version of Expo possible, and we look forward to being on-site again when Cable-Tec Expo returns to Atlanta Oct. 11-14, 2021.”
Highlights of this year’s virtual format include: an opening demonstration of breakthrough cable technology; 40 Fall Technical Forum workshops featuring 119 presentations; and visionary remarks by many of the industry’s most senior executives, including Michael Powell, president and CEO of NCTA–the Internet & Television Association, Tom Rutledge, chairman and CEO of Charter Communications, Dave Watson, president and CEO of Comcast Cable, and Mike Fries, CEO and vice-chairman of Liberty Global.
