The Cable Hall of Fame Celebration will begin with a cocktail reception, followed by dinner and the induction ceremony. The event program will also include the presentation of the Bresnan Ethics in Business Award, honoring the late William J. Bresnan, to Alan Gerry. A festive after party in the Atrium at the Boston Marriott Copley Place concludes the evening's activities.
