As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the SCTE, I am honoured to reflect on the legacy and future of a Society that continues to play a vital role in our industry. Since its founding in 1945, the SCTE has brought together engineers, technologists and innovators with a shared mission: to advance technical knowledge, promote best practices and support the growth of the broadband and media sectors. From the earliest days of cable and television transmission to today’s world of fibre networks, streaming and smart infrastructure, the SCTE has stood at the forefront of change. We’ve witnessed—and contributed to—some of the most transformative moments in our industry’s history. Throughout, our commitment to education, collaboration and excellence has remained constant. Eighty years on, we are not just reflecting on a rich past—we are also looking forward. The world is changing faster than ever. We face new challenges: ensuring digital inclusion for rural and remote communities, improving resilience in the face of climate and energy concerns and developing the next generation of professionals. These are not small tasks, but the SCTE community has never shied away from complex problems. Highlighting the talking points and ensuring communication is possible, SCTE ® Presents offers an ideal stage for these discussions. Enabling opinions and questions to be posed and answered. Our strength lies in our members. It is your expertise, curiosity and passion that drives us forward. Whether through our networking events, conferences, training, publications like Broadband Journal, or our mentoring and outreach, the SCTE continues to be a place where knowledge is shared, ideas are nurtured and careers are built. Letter from Our President
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our journey so far. Together, we have built something extraordinary. And together, we’ll shape the future of connectivity.
Here’s to the next 80 years of progress, partnership and purpose.
