Media+Tech Collective

Our mission is to create authentic relationships that go beyond traditional networking to benefit our members personally and professionally.

“Because Connections Matter,” the Media+Tech Collective is a 501c(6) non-profit, open industry association that is dedicated to bringing together members from throughout the businesses of video entertainment and technology – including broadband, telephony, commercial services and more – with networking opportunities, educational programs, and social events. By providing affordable and engaging programs and sharing valuable industry information and contacts with industry peers, MTC members stay better informed and fulfill opportunities to become impactful leaders in their respective organizations. The MTC is using 2021 to phase in full accessibility for those with disabilities and special needs. The Rocky Mountain Cable Association was rebranded to become the Media+Tech Collective of the Rockies in January 2021 to meet the changing needs of its members in an evolving industry. Industry members, companies, vendors and support services in all areas of the industry (video, streaming, data, voice, mobile, IOT, web services, etc) in all functional areas (sales, marketing, product, IT, HR, software development, finance, and more) are welcome and supported by MTC. The RMCA was established in January 2012 as a local successor to the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing Rocky Mountains chapter (CTAMRM). With the evolution of RMCA to the Media+Tech Collective the organization remains committed to its foundation of networking, education and giving back to the community.

Meet MacKenzie Roebuck-Walsh, a former Media Tech Collective Innovation Challenge winner whose experience became the launchpad for her consulting career.

While completing her MBA, MacKenzie entered the Innovation Challenge with a goal of breaking into consulting. Winning the competition led to a paid internship and ultimately a full-time consulting role.

But the impact went beyond career opportunities.

The experience helped her strengthen critical skills in problem-solving, teamwork, presentation development, and executive communication while building valuable professional relationships.

As MacKenzie reflects:

"Winning the Innovation Challenge turned an MBA experience into a career opportunity. It gave me the chance to prove what I could do and opened the door to consulting."

For anyone considering participation, her advice is simple: treat it as more than a competition. It's a chance to showcase your abilities, expand your network, and create opportunities that can shape your future.

The next Innovation Challenge could be your opportunity to do the same.

David Groth, former Innovation Challenge winner shared:

"The competition introduced me to industry leaders in Denver and beyond, ultimately leading to two job offers and my first role at Charter Communications."

Fifteen years later, the impact continues:

"I genuinely would not be where I am today without the competition. The industry has transformed enormously over the past 15 years, and I've been fortunate to have a hand in some of that change. I believe the next 10 years will be even more interesting and rewarding."

If you're considering applying, their advice is simple:

"Just do it."

"You'll grow enormously from the experience and come away better prepared for your career. Whether you ultimately pursue a future in this industry or somewhere completely different, it is well worth the effort."

The MTC Innovation Challenge is more than a competition. It's an opportunity to develop your ideas, gain valuable experience, connect with industry leaders, and build relationships that can shape your future.

Applications are open through September 25, 2026.
