22565 - SCTE Broadband - May2026 COMPLETE v2

Fascinating discussion this morning at SCTE ® The Future of Tech lecture. AI is being thrown at us at every step these days, but does it truly make everything better?

Good to see sustainability back on the agenda and treated as a serious business conversation, not just a side topic. SCTE ® panel on Sustainability brought together Anthony Daly from ClimateEQ, with a strong group of speakers. What stood out is the constructive debate across the panel. Different angles, different priorities, but a shared sense that sustainability now needs to move from ambition to practical action, measurable outcomes, and better industry alignment. Encouraging discussion, thoughtful challenges, and good to see this topic getting the attention it deserves again.

The Future of Tech was a brilliant event, bringing together the people, ideas and technologies shaping the future of connectivity and sustainability. It reinforced the importance of collaboration across the industry; and we’re proud to support the SCTE and be part of the conversation. BRIANNA GRANT FIBREPLUS

I’ve just returned from the SCTE ® Presents: The Future of Tech event in London and really enjoyed being part of the Sustainability Panel. The audience was fantastic— really attentive and keen to join the conversation. We shared ideas about tackling sustainability challenges in the broadband industry together. Covered everything from rare earth minerals to making circular economy strategies a reality. Big thanks to the organisers and my fellow panelists.

A great day so, many new conversations, and new ideas for sustainable change.

DAVID WHITEHEAD HARMONIC Credit to everyone at the SCTE involved in the organisation of the day for the quality of the panelists and the resulting discussions.

SCTE ® Presents: The Future of Tech was a profoundly eye- opening experience. By bringing together an eclectic mix of voices from different industries, the event provided a truly holistic view of our future. This level of insight is essential for adapting business strategies in such a rapidly evolving landscape.
