The SCTE’s Benelux Group has just announced that its Spring Lecture will be held on 24 April 2019 with the theme of ‘A Broad(band) Future’.

This year’s SCTE Spring Lecture will take place on Wednesday 27 March 2019 at the National Conference Centre (National Motorcycle Museum) in Solihull (near the NEC in Birmingham, UK). The Spring Lecture will be centred on wireless technologies, Full Duplex DOCSIS and optical fibre, with perspectives from two network operators. Lunch is free for SCTE members, and free entry is also offered to the National Motorcyle Museum.

The SCTE’s annual Gala Awards Dinner & Dance, the highlight of the Society’s social calendar, will return to the Old Palace at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire (UK) on Saturday 29 June 2019. Hatfield House, built in 1611, is a celebrated Jacobean house standing majestically in its own Great Park. The Old Palace, which was built at the earlier time of 1497, was once owned by Henry VIII, father of Elizabeth I, who used it as a home for his children and it was while she was living at the Old Palace in 1558, that Elizabeth learned of her accession to the throne.
