It was an evening of highlights and high spirits as the 57th annual Cable TV Pioneers Banquet ushered in the Class of 2023 in the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. “Cable’s Biggest Night” certainly lived up to its billing, with a record-breaking number of attendees (over 700) and inductees (35). Helping make this the biggest Pioneer class ever, was the recognition and induction of 10 individuals who were instrumental in enabling new services to launch at scale. Honoring these often unsung Tech Pioneers—dubbed the “Ten for Tech”—added an extra-special element to the evening. One thing everyone in attendance could agree upon; the 57th Cable TV Pioneers Banquet was a rousing success.
Meet the Class of 2023
