The Society also runs its Annual Dinner and Awards event, where excellence in the broadband industry is rewarded. 

SCTE® Presents:

In line with our mission to educate and inform, we provide three SCTE® Presents events a year - Spring, Summer and Autumn, at various locations around the UK.

Each SCTE® Presents event is designed around a theme and the speakers are hand-picked to provide audiences with technical knowledge, commercial expertise and projections about the the industry.

The SCTE® Presents Series is designed to provide essential networking opportunities and to that end we offer a delicious sit-down lunch, coffee breaks throughout the day, as well as networking drinks in the evening.

SCTE offers its members bursary packages to key industry events such as FTTH Conference, ANGA COM, DVB World and IBC. The bursary package include congress/exhibition tickets, economy flights from anywhere in Europe and three nights’ hotel accommodation.

BROADBAND JOURNAL

The SCTE® publishes a quarterly magazine, Broadband Journal, which is free to members and is also distributed at major international conferences and exhibitions throughout the year. In Broadband Journal, you will find news, technical data and standards updates as well as papers on many aspects of broadband and telecommunications technologies – some of these report over-the-horizon developments that are not yet out of the laboratory.  Broadband Journal also caters for technicians and those with less technical experience. The Journal reflects the high standards of the Society.
