Reimagining Cable: Creating Cable That Matters to the Next Generation

We're focused on producing great output.We specialize in connecting brands with the hacker, developer and entrepreneur communities by providing tools and environments that allow collaboration and creativity to flourish. We're more than Silicon Valley matchmakers. We are committed to using hacker ingenuity to solve real business challenges by producing great work, and having fun doing it.

HVCK

Join CableLabs and the HVCK team for a night of presentations, intimate networking and great conversation about how the cable industry is adapting to serve the next generation of consumers. Up-and-coming startups Dabkick, Wonderloop, Life, and Groopie give you an early glimpse into the technology that will shape the future of cable, rounded out by a thought-provoking discussion between an esteemed panel of industry insiders -- and you, the audience.  The Reimagining Cable Presentation Event is the first of several in our latest event series. We’re aiming to deliver more than what you've come to expect from most other mundane networking events in Silicon Valley. In addition to presentations by compelling, emerging Bay Area companies and the resulting conversations about innovative and new experiences delivered by cable networks, the event will also feature delicious food and dessert (we promise you won’t leave hungry!) and complimentary wine and craft beer. 
Doors open at 6pm; presentations will begin at 6:30pm and last around an hour, after which time we encourage you to eat, drink, and socialize.
