HISTORY

AHECTA grew out of an annual conference organized by the University of Massachusetts - Amherst (UMASS) called the "Collective of Campus Cable Operators & Administrators" (COCCOA). In 1996, seven individuals, committed to the advancement of cable television services on university campuses, formed AHECTA as a separate entity from UMASS. The new association was incorporated in 1997 in the State of Delaware. Orlando, Florida became the site of the first AHECTA Campus Cable Conference in June 1998.
