SCTE ISBE CABLE-TEC EXPO WEEK SPURS FLURRY OF INDUSTRY COLLABORATION
NAMIC, ACA, NCTC, WICT, Pioneers and Other Events Reveal Expo 2017's Broad Appeal
OCT. 12, 2017 (Exton, PA)-When SCTE ISBE Cable-Tec Expo returns to Denver this year, it will attract plenty of company: A wide variety of industry and related organizations are leveraging the presence of cable's premier showcase for technology innovation, learning, and networking-creating an Expo Week of activity that maximizes return on travel investments.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 16, industry organizations such as the National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC), the American Cable Association (ACA), the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC), Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT), and the Cable TV Pioneers will be among those conducting events in conjunction with Expo, the flagship event of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global brand, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE).
Cable-Tec Expo is set for Oct. 17-20 at the Colorado Convention Center. Among activities on the agenda are:
Collaboration with NCTA and CableLabs to produce the first-ever Fall Technical Forum consisting of nearly 100 workshops and technical paper presentations outlining the near future of the industry.
A One-Day Immersion in Media, Entertainment, & Technology event at The Cable Center that enables college students, graduate-level candidates, and recent graduates to engage with industry executives and learn how to make the transition from academia to the corporate world. The event is being hosted and sponsored by The Cable Center and the Emma Bowen Foundation (Monday, Oct. 16).
A Leadership and Communications Seminar jointly presented by NAMIC, The Cable Center, and SCTE ISBE that will focus on maximizing collaboration across multi-cultural teams and enhancing the ability of non-technical executives and staff to communicate effectively with engineers, developers, and product teams (Tuesday, Oct. 17).
The Cable TV Pioneers' 51st annual banquet, highlighted by the induction of 20 new members who have demonstrated leadership, dedication to the industry, and commitment to their communities during cable careers that have spanned 20 years or more (Tuesday, Oct. 17).

The evolution of new cable services is based on one of the industry's bedrock principles: Technology as the foundation of business success, said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE ISBE. By working with our organization brethren to create joint and co-located events, we're enabling the industry at large to get a peek behind the curtain at the products, solutions, and innovations that will power a brilliant future for operators, technology partners, and consumers.
