A crisp Fall evening greeted the over 200 attendees at the opening of the 2024 OCTC. The Great Hall at Sunriver Resort was the perfect venue to mingle with the vendors and conference attendees. The crowd shared their appreciation for Comcast hosting the event. The excitement was building for tomorrow's keynote, which will provide insights into the emerging world of AI.
