We've taken a breakthrough concept from last year's Cable Show and made it even better. It's Imagine Park, a live-events stage located right on The Cable Show Exhibit Floor, where inspiring ideas around content, communication and community come to life.
Located on The Cable Show Exhibit Floor, Imagine Park will host 10 hours of live demos and discussions about how cable's making digital living even better. Special features include a live student developer competition, an interactive display of cable's latest media, entertainment and lifestyle apps, and a dedicated area featuring some of Boston's most innovative start-ups.
Imagine Park is all about innovation and the people making it happen. Content creators, distributors, solutions providers, and others from cable's vibrant ecosystem will take the stage to share breakthrough ideas. It's about everything cable can do and how we can make it even better.
So stop by for a hot dog. Enjoy the view. And come away inspired.
