Liberty Global (NASDAQ:LBTYA) CEO Mike Fries will be the first of two general session keynote speakers at the SCTE/ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017 in October in Denver.
Fries will discuss a range of topics during his keynote, including how the convergence of wireline and wireless is helping to drive new business opportunities for pay TV providers.
The addition of Fries marks the second commitment by an MSO CEO to speak at the Cable-Tec Expo general session. Last month, the SCTE/ISBE announced that Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR) Chairman and CEO Tom Rutledge will offer keynote remarks on the future of cable telecommunications and how network innovation will be a significant contributor to business results.
"With multiple industry organizations holding events during Expo Week, the eyes of the industry will be on SCTE/ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017," said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of the SCTE/ISBE. "Mike Fries' insights and vision will underscore the impact of technology innovation, seamless product deployment and SCTE/ISBE in helping all sectors of our industry achieve success in a rapidly changing marketplace."
"Technology and constant innovation are the keys to keeping our customers happy in this ever-changing digital world," said Fries. "SCTE/ISBE and its Cable-Tec Expo play vital roles in delivering the education, the standards leadership and the technology advances that will make this happen."
Liberty Global provides broadband, entertainment, voice and mobile services to 25 million customers in more than 30 countries.
Expo will be held Oct. 17-20 at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver.
