What does the future hold for the cable industry?
Join us in Denver on March 24-26, 2025 to connect with leading cable operators and learn how we can develop, deploy and monetize technologies critical to the continued success of the industry.
Taking the Next Leap Forward in Broadband Innovation
Back by popular demand for a record 18th consecutive year, Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies is the premier independent community event focusing on the cable industry’s technology advances, opportunities and challenges. Meet with top cable, fiber, wireless, video and mobile executives to discover the latest technologies, platforms and services shaping the rapidly changing North American broadband market.
Five years after setting its ambitious 10G target, the cable industry is finally close to attaining its goal of delivering 10 Gbps speeds over its hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) networks. Join us to explore the technologies and strategies that will help cable technologists to keep their HFC networks on top, tackling key questions including: How are cable's efforts faring? What obstacles remain in the way? and Where is the broadband market heading?

Navigating the Changing Market
As cable operators face increasing competition from fiber and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) broadband, the race is on to transform and compete. With the deployment of DOCSIS 4.0 and other cutting-edge technologies like Distributed Access Architecture, AI, and network automation, the industry is at a pivotal moment. However, to truly stay ahead, operators must find new ways to grow revenues and expand their subscriber base.
With over $42 billion in government subsidies poised to boost broadband infrastructure and fiber providers rapidly expanding their footprint, the need for innovation in the cable industry has never been more urgent. This event offers a front-row seat to the strategies and technologies - such as DOCSIS 3.1 Plus, spectrum mid-splits, high-splits, and more - that will define the future of connectivity.
