Liberty Global, Midco, Millicom, Rogers, Shaw, NCTC Step
Up to Sponsor Landmark All-Digital Event
EXTON, Pennsylvania,
Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- With the start of SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo® Virtual
Experience less than a month away, an international cast of cable
MSOs and organizations has put forth sponsorship dollars to ensure
the all-digital event reaches the widest possible audience.
Liberty Global in Europe, Midco
in the United States, Millicom in
Latin America, and Rogers and Shaw
in Canada, as well as the National
Cable Television Cooperative all have become attendee registration
sponsors of the Oct. 12-15 event.
Charter Communications, Comcast, Cox Communications and the SCTE
Foundation previously had committed sponsorship dollars to make
Cable-Tec Expo Virtual Experience free for all attendees.
The virtual format will enable hundreds of thousands of cable
professionals as well as technologists, students and other
audiences worldwide to take part in the industry's signature event
from their homes and offices. Highlights include an opening
demonstration of breakthrough 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,
NCTA – the Internet & Television Association; Tom
Rutledge, chairman and CEO, Charter Communications;
Dave Watson, president and CEO, Comcast Cable; and
Mike Fries, CEO and vice chairman,
Liberty Global.
"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. "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."
Visionary insights, technical innovation and shared learning
remain the cornerstones of the annual event, which this year asks
attendees to "Imagine the Possibilities" for the future of
connectivity. In addition to the Fall Technical Forum and the
Opening General Session, Cable-Tec Expo Virtual Experience will
feature a Learning & Development Experience, future-focused
presentations in the Imagine Zone, an interactive Exhibitor
Gallery, the annual SCTE•ISBE awards celebration, and more. Expo
2020 is co-chaired by Ed Marchetti,
senior vice president of operations for Comcast, and Tom Monaghan, senior vice president, field
operations for Charter Communications.
