In just under four weeks, the cable industry will take over downtown Los Angeles. As news rolls in, we’re learning more about what to expect from The Cable Show 2014.

Imagine Park, the bustling centerpiece of the show, will showcase a bigger and better event space, taking over almost 10,000 square feet in the center of the exhibit show floor. As you make your way around the park, which includes the Internet of Things Lounge, you’ll get an insiders look at the very latest in cable innovations. There will be interactive demonstrations, devices and tech toys to play with, charging stations and even a happy hour! Plus, for four hours a day, sessions on the Imagine Park stage will showcase everything from ultra 4K televisions to the cable smart home to unique broadband user experiences.

Imagine Park will also be home base for the Imagine Film Challenge. Here students have dedicated space for producing and editing their short films. The student teams come from Columbia College Chicago, Loyola Marymount University, New York Film Academy and UCLA. The films will be judged live by Charles Segars, CEO of Ovation Network, Carter Pilcher, CEO of ShortsHD, film legend and Golden Globe Winner, Rutger Hauer, Dominic Patten of Deadline Hollywood and Academy Award winning producer, Nick Reed. We can’t wait to see what the students come up with. Don’t miss the finals live in Imagine Park on Thursday, May 1st at 11:45 am.

We’re also excited to announce the teams and judges for the Interactive Launch Competition, on Monday, April 28th, one day prior to the start of the Show – so plan your travel accordingly! Current MBA student teams from USC, UCLA, UC Irvine and University of Denver will present competitive marketing presentations before a judging panel. Hosted by Craig Leddy of Interactive TV Works, the competition will also feature judges and mentors from Fox Networks, Bright House, Samsung, ARRIS and other companies.
