SCTE and ANGA Announce 2017 Bursary Winners

 

The SCTETM (Society for Broadband Professionals) and ANGA (The Association of German Cable Operators) are sending twenty lucky winners of the SCTE/ANGA bursaries to this year’s ANGA COM conference and exhibition in Cologne, Germany (30 May-1 June 2017). The bursary winners are mainly chosen from various international cable operators (such as Virgin Media, IPKO and others). They each receive a package that includes pre-paid flights and hotel accommodation for three nights (courtesy of the SCTE) and entrance to the full conference offering (courtesy of ANGA). Bursary winners must be members of the SCTE.

The SCTE (Society for Broadband Professionals) and ANGA have a long history of cooperation. They have worked together for many years on conference sessions at ANGA COM and ANGA has a regular editorial slot in SCTE’s quarterly international magazine, Broadband Journal.

“I would like to highlight our successful and long-term cooperation with the SCTE (Society for Broadband Professionals),” commented Thomas Braun, President of ANGA. “For many years, we have developed congress panels together and cooperated on editorial and bursary programmes.”

The SCTE will be a very visible participant at the ANGA COM event, as it has in previous years.  The Society will be on booth A8 in hall 7 at the event and its quarterly Broadband Journal will be distributed throughout the exhibition and in all the delegate bags. It will also be taking part in a panel session during the ANGA COM conference on ‘FTTx – Gigabit Services: Challenges for Deploying the Networks’ on 30 May 2017 from 14.45-16.00.

“We are delighted to be working with ANGA again,” added Mike Thornton, President, SCTE. “We will be holding a party for all bursary winners on Wednesday 31 May 2017 at 5pm on our booth A8 in hall 7. The booth party is also open to all SCTE members and supporters.”

ANGA COM, a key international conference and exhibition for broadband, cable and satellite, will take place from 30 May – 1 June 2017 in Cologne, Germany. It brings network operators, content providers and vendors together. See www.angacom.de
