The 2026 program is held in Alexandria, Virginia.
The program is intended for high-potential managers and professionals preparing for greater leadership responsibility.
It is worth it for managers and directors in cable, media and technology who are being groomed for senior roles, since the program covers decision-making, communication and influence and is backed by companies such as Comcast NBCUniversal, Disney, Warner Bros. It is a development program rather than a trade show, so executives already at the top and those seeking sales leads will get less from it than mid-career leaders wanting a cross-industry peer network.
Participants in corporate leadership development programs in media and telecom usually wear business casual to business professional, and Alexandria's November weather calls for a jacket or overcoat.
