EXTON, PA — The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE®), a subsidiary of CableLabs®, has opened its call for papers for the upcoming SCTE TechExpo 2024. The event is scheduled to take place in Atlanta, Georgia, from September 24-26, 2024. The move marks the beginning of a search for innovative ideas that could shape the future of the telecommunications industry.
Guy McCormick, senior vice president of engineering at Cox Communications, and Ronnie Dhaliwal, vice president, technology operations at Liberty Latin America, will chair the TechExpo Program Committee. They will lead the process of reviewing all technical abstract submissions presented for the conference.
Maria Popo, SCTE president and CEO, expressed enthusiasm for the event, saying, “This year’s TechExpo will deliver an unparalleled opportunity to engage with industry CEOs, CTOs, and decision-makers and to see emerging technologies and applications that will transform the industry.”
The committee is particularly interested in submissions focused on forward-looking technologies and solutions that will propel the industry’s 10G initiative and advance its technical foundation. In addition to English presentations, the committee also welcomes Spanish submissions, aiming to highlight Latin American concepts, technology, and innovation.
SCTE has identified nine areas of interest for the Expo:
- Wireline Networks Evolution
- Wireless Network and Convergence with Wireline
- Construction and Network Planning
- Security and Privacy
- Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
- Cloud Services
- Commercial and Business Services
- Operational Transformation and Workforce Learning
- Energy Management and Sustainability
Abstracts addressing these key areas will be given priority, but papers touching on other broadband industry technical, engineering, and business issues will also be considered. The abstracts should describe new and emerging technologies or operational practices that provide practical guidance. Preference will be given to abstracts addressing solutions expected to come into effect within the next three years.
“TechExpo has evolved to incorporate so much more than cable, and we have increasingly broadened the event’s audience to include pertinent communities like policy, security, sustainability and strategy as the gathering place for moving technology forward to advance connectivity around the world,” said Phil McKinney, president and CEO of CableLabs.
Registration for TechExpo will open on March 28, 2024, at the close of CableLabs’ Winter Conference. For general questions regarding TechExpo technical workshops or the abstract submission process, interested parties can contact speakers@scte.org.
In conclusion, SCTE’s call for papers for the TechExpo 2024 marks an opportunity for industry experts to contribute their ideas and innovations to shape the future of the telecommunications industry. With a focus on forward-looking technologies that will power the industry’s 10G initiative, the event promises to be a platform for showcasing cutting-edge concepts and strategies for advancing global connectivity.
