The Cable Show 2010 - Go Beyond

Registration and Housing Policies

Caution: It’s been reported that certain housing bureaus that are not affiliated with NCTA or The Cable Show are contacting exhibitors and delegates to book hotel reservations for the upcoming Show. Please exercise caution if you receive such a solicitation. We cannot guarantee any reservations made outside of the official Cable Show website or registration forms. Also, rooms booked outside the Official Cable Show block will not receive the daily trades or other room drops intended for Cable Show attendees.
