The UK Society of Broadband Professionals (SCTE) has teamed up with central and eastern Europe broadband event the East and Central European Broadband Expo (ECEBE) to create a single unified broadband event in the region, to take place in Hungary from September 22-23.

The SCTE’s Balkan Broadband conference and exhibition, held last year in Belgrade, Serbia, will become part of the two-day ECEBE event and take place at a new central location in Budapest. The event will be known as “ECEBE in association with SCTE, The Society for Broadband Professionals.”

“Traditionally, our Balkan conferences and exhibitions have been held across the Balkan region in countries such as Kosovo, Macedonia, Croatia and Serbia,” said Roger Blakeway, president of the SCTE.

“Merging with ECEBE in Hungary will both provide a neutral venue and also help to reduce the number of exhibitions and conferences during the autumn season. While we will continue to support the SCTE Balkan group with SCTE events in the Balkans region, we are delighted to be working with ECEBE to grow this combined event across eastern and central Europe.”
