CHARTER CEO TOM RUTLEDGE TO KEYNOTE SCTE ISBE CABLE-TEC EXPO 2017

JUNE 20, 2017 (Exton, PA)-Charter Communications Chairman and CEO Tom Rutledge will be among the keynote speakers when the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), host the general session of SCTE ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017 on Wednesday, Oct. 18, in Denver.

Rutledge, who led the technological and business transformation of Charter and who engineered last year's transactions with Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, will share his views on the future of cable telecommunications and how network innovation will be a significant contributor to business results.

Rutledge's remarks will mark the start of three days of thought leadership, collaborative learning and development, technical innovation, and deal making at Cable-Tec Expo's Colorado Convention Center venue. SCTE ISBE Cable-Tec Expo is the pinnacle of a week of cable-centric activity in Denver that will include the Cable TV Pioneers annual banquet on Tuesday, Oct. 17, as well as other industry events.

Tom Rutledge's vision and his ability to seize opportunities have changed the face of cable telecommunications within the past several years, said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE ISBE. We're grateful to him for his commitment to share his expertise and his informed view of the industry at a general session that is shaping up as one of the best in the 34-year history of Cable-Tec Expo.

As the industry continues to evolve, success will be measured by our ability to deliver content and new services in ways that attract and retain customers, said Rutledge. SCTE ISBE and the technology community at large will play a significant role in our ability to quickly and efficiently deploy the new products that will help our industry maintain its competitive edge.

A veteran of four decades in cable, Rutledge has grown Charter into the second-largest cable operator in the United States, with 26 million customers and 91,000 employees in 41 states. Prior to joining Charter in 2012, Rutledge had been COO of Cablevision Systems. Previously, he served in a variety of capacities with Time Warner Cable and a predecessor, American Television and Communications, ultimately becoming president of Time Warner Cable.

Rutledge is the chairman of NCTA-The Internet & Television Association and serves on the boards of CableLabs and C-SPAN. In 2011, he received NCTA's Vanguard Award for Distinguished Leadership, the cable industry's highest honor, and is a member of the Cable Hall of Fame and the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame.
