In March, the Louisiana SCTE chapter organized a training session with Trilithic which covered Ingress, Egress, DOCSIS 3.0, Jitter, and Latency. We had the best turnout the chapter has seen with 122 participants between Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans and could not have done this without your support!
On behalf of SCTE, we want to personally say “Thank You” for making our last session a huge success.
The Louisiana SCTE Board is dedicated to providing training sessions like this and we want to ensure that future training sessions are organized around topics that bring value to our members. We want the information that is covered during these sessions to provide answers and solutions to the challenges that you and your teams are faced with daily.
Your thoughts, suggestions and input are the key elements needed to organize successful training sessions that benefit everyone.
With that said, we are reaching out to everyone to get ideas for future training topics which you would like to see offered to ensure that we continue to provide a valuable resource for you and your teams.
Also, our next session will be:
May 12th – Lafayette
May 13th – Baton Rouge
May 14th – New Orleans
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Simply email me with your input and we will sort through the suggestions and see what we can do.
Regards,
