On Saturday 20 June, SCTE members, partners and industry colleagues gathered at the House of Commons to celebrate the SCTE 81st Anniversary Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony.
The evening was a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, reflect on the achievements of the past year and celebrate the people and organisations helping to shape the future of broadband and connectivity.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our members and guests who attended and contributed to making the evening such a memorable occasion. Your continued support, engagement and commitment to the industry are what make the SCTE community so special.

Last year's event
2025 heralded the Society’s 80th anniversary and we certainly celebrated this epic achievement in style! So, to commemorate our very special year we really pushed the boat out and booked a return visit to the Tower of London for this milestone in the SCTE’s history.
