2005 WICT FORUM
The 2005 WICT Forum, the industry’s premier leadership event, will be held May 11-13, 2005 as part of the Spring Cable Week created by WICT’s collaboration with Cable Positive, the cable and telecommunications industry’s AIDS action organization.  The week will kick off with a breakfast seminar hosted by Horowitz Associates and will be followed by the annual WICT New York Chapter’s Wonder Women luncheon sponsored by Reed Business Information.  That evening Cable Positive will present the organization’s highest honor, the Joel A. Berger Memorial Award for outstanding contribution in the fight against AIDS by a cable industry leader at the annual benefit dinner, to Carole Black. 

The industry’s most popular leadership program, the WICT Forum centers on an original case study in which you serve as the decision-maker tackling real-life business scenarios. Developed in partnership with the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, the case study focuses on competition and individuals’ access to tools that develop their personal competitive edge, as well as creating an edge for their teams and their company. There are two separate case study tracks, management and executive, tailored to varying experience levels.  The 2005 WICT Forum is presented by Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and MTV Networks.
