ATLANTA, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SCTE®, a CableLabs® subsidiary, today announced the agenda for SCTE TechExpo26, taking place September 29–October 1, 2026, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Co-hosted by AMC Global Media and Charter Communications, this year’s expanded program reflects the growing convergence of broadband, media and technology, with dedicated content on streaming technology and expanded coverage of fiber evolution.
TechExpo26 marks the first time a programmer has co-hosted the event, reflecting the closer collaboration between content and connectivity providers as streaming, AI and edge computing increasingly rely on broadband infrastructure.
Featuring over 48 hours of sessions, the show will unite connectivity, content and technology leaders to examine how these industries are becoming part of a single, integrated ecosystem. Themed “Convergence Powered. Experience Perfected,” the program will explore how broadband is no longer defined by isolated access technologies, but by intelligent, converged networks that adapt in real time to applications, operations and customer experiences.
“Streaming has not only transformed entertainment, it has made it possible for content companies and distributors to collaborate more than ever before, with empowered consumers at the center of everything we do,” said Kristin Dolan, Chief Executive Officer of AMC Global Media. “We’re proud to partner with Charter as co-hosts of the SCTE TechExpo, particularly during this time of convergence, when content and connectivity are driving the evolution of our products and the future of our industry.”
“We are in the midst of a network and entertainment revolution where high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency connectivity is empowering new experiences, AI-powered advancements, and inspired innovation, while at the same time a reimagined video model is delivering seamlessly integrated streaming, linear and now immersive entertainment,” said Chris Winfrey, Charter President and CEO. “AMC Global Media, our co-host of this year’s conference, recognizes that great content, new technology and converged connectivity go hand in hand, advancing the viewing experience even more. There has been no better time to be in this industry; we are creating a future full of promise for our customers, and nowhere will that be more evident than this year’s SCTE TechExpo.”
