Cable-Tec Expo® 2018 

Premier cable technology event returns to
Atlanta next year Oct. 22-25

Kevin Hart, executive vice president and Chief Product and Technology Officer for Cox Communications, once again will chair the Fall Technical Forum for SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo® when the cable industry’s leading technology event returns to Atlanta in 2018, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), announced today.

Hart, who chaired Cable-Tec Expo’s highly successful run in Atlanta in 2013, will lead the committee that builds the Expo Fall Technical Forum, the workshops that sharpen the focus on technology’s role as the foundation for new cable services and revenue opportunities. He succeeds the co-chairs of SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017, Altice USA Vice Chairman, Business Development–Network and Technology Services Terry Cordova and Charter Communications Executive Vice President, Engineering and Information Technology Jim Blackley.

SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2018 will be conducted Monday, Oct. 22 through Thursday, Oct. 25, at the Georgia World Congress Center. The Fall Technical Forum is a joint production of SCTE•ISBE, NCTA, and CableLabs® that drives thought leadership from a wide range of large and small international operators as well as a cross-section of technology partners.

“Year in and year out, Kevin Hart’s vision, commitment to excellence, and technology expertise have helped Cox be among the very best at transforming the lives of consumers,” said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE•ISBE.  “Kevin’s leadership will be key to shaping an Expo program that will help to drive deeper understanding of the value of training, standards, and thought leadership as catalysts for improvement in operators’ bottom lines.”

“In a rapidly-shifting media landscape, it’s essential for cable to continue to prepare the technology workforce for the changes ahead,” said Hart.  “I look forward to working with the Cable-Tec Expo 2018 Program Committee to create an agenda that will provide SCTE•ISBE members and Expo attendees with the technical knowledge and industry insights they need to maintain our competitive edge well into the future.”

Prior to joining Cox, Hart was CIO of Clearwire, where he led the transformation of the IT organization during nationwide deployment of the company’s 4G wireless broadband service.  Previously, as CIO of Level 3 Communications, Hart implemented initiatives that streamlined legacy processes and aligned objectives across Level 3 and eight acquisitions.  Hart also served as the global leader and vice president of the Telecom, Media, Entertainment and OSS practice with Capgemini Consulting.  He began his professional career with SBC Communications.
