The Cable Show Blog

The Cable Show 2010, as you already may know, is to take place in Los Angeles, CA from May 11-13, as a part of Cable Connection  – Spring 2010.  During these three days there will be time to network with some of the other 12,00 or more attendees expected to come, to walk an exhibit floor that features all of the latest innovations in the cable and telecommunications industry and to hear from the industry’s leading executives. With all of these exciting possibilities, CableCares returns this year with the Battle of the Bands.

Last year CableCares raised more than $155,000 in donations to help improve Washington, DC.  Here’s what you can do to help for CableCares 2010.
