The Park to Showcase Cable's Latest Services and Emerging Customer Experiences

CHICAGO, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- From practical demonstrations to thought-provoking interviews, The Park's open-forum stage anchors The Cable Show 2011 exhibit floor as a new space for the exchanging of ideas, sharing of new technologies, and exploring new trends and services.

The Cable Show 2011, NCTA's 60th Annual Convention and International Exposition, takes place June 14-16, 2011, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

The Park's sessions will focus on the dynamic changes in the cable industry that are transforming the customer experience and delivering new services to our customers when, where and how they want them. Throughout the nine hours of programming at The Park, there will be up-close views of innovative products, programming, and perspectives that convey cable's leadership in advanced digital technologies, amazing content, and innovative consumer experiences across multiple platforms.
