About This Event

SCTE TechExpo26 is a Telecommunication event taking place 29 Sep - 1 Oct 2026 at Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, United States.

SCTE TechExpo26 is the annual broadband technology conference and exhibition run by SCTE, billed as the largest broadband event in the Americas. This year's theme is the convergence of fixed broadband, mobile, Wi-Fi and edge networks into one intelligent fabric, and how AI and automation move operators from delivering bandwidth to assuring the customer experience. The 2026 edition is co-hosted by Charter Communications (Spectrum) and AMC Global Media, the first time a media company has co-hosted alongside a network operator.

Who attends

TechExpo draws engineers, technology leaders, field and operations teams, implementers and policy makers from cable operators, fiber and wireless providers, streaming companies and their vendors. The 2026 programme features speakers from Comcast, Spectrum, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Rogers, Liberty Latin America, Google Cloud, Nokia, CableLabs and NCTA.
