About the Conference
Empowering Chapter Leaders for Lasting Impact
The SCTE Chapter Leadership Conference (CLC) is SCTE’s premier annual event bringing together chapter leaders, volunteers, regional representatives and industry partners to connect, collaborate, and learn. CLC unites the dedicated individuals who advance SCTE’s mission at the local level to share best practices, celebrate accomplishments and strengthen their leadership impact across chapters, careers, and the broader broadband and telecommunications community.
In 2026, CLC will offer a focused environment centered on leadership development, chapter excellence and peer collaboration. This year’s theme, “Leading Through Change,” highlights how chapter leaders can inspire adaptability, innovation and growth within their chapters, and across the broader broadband and telecommunications community — an ever-evolving industry we all take pride in advancing.
