About the ECOC Exhibition
ECOC is an international exhibition that can help professionals in achieving several goals. One of them is exchanging information and expanding their specialist knowledge. The event can aid in completing such business goals via its comprehensive event agenda.
Among the main features of the schedule is the extensive exhibition, where both start-ups and leading companies showcase their novel solutions. These include optic fibres, integrated circuits, components, and others.
Another central feature of the ECOC exhibition’s support programme is the Market Focus zone. It is where attendees can learn about photonics integrations and fibre access. The Market Focus features lectures where leading organisations present the latest information. The Market Focus speakers include Scott Schube, Peter Finn, and Lorenzo Ghioni.
The Innovation Awards are also among the main features of the ECOC’s support programme. They laud accomplishments related to optical communications, networks, and integrated circuits with photonics. The Awards include six categories: Best Fibre/Fibre Component Product, Best Data Centre Innovation Product, Innovative FTTX Product, Most Innovative Product, Optical Integration, and Optical Transport.
The Best Fibre honours technology, process, or product innovations that improve fibre or fibre component qualities. The Data Centre Innovation acknowledges novelties that augment one or more aspects of data centres. The Innovative FTTX Product honours solutions that increase management scalability and bandwidth capacity. The Most Innovative Product award is for products that drive market segment changes.

I recently used Travel to Fairs to help me search for a hotel for a group of colleagues attending Bauma 2022 and my whole experience was very positive. Michelle Adams, my agent gave some very good suggestions and options for hotels near to the venue and in the centre of Munich. Michelle's communication with me was excellent and always very helpful. I would highly recommend t2f to anyone booking for an event.

Dear Christine,
Thank you for email. Everything went well during our stay. The hotel allowed early check-in. Room is new and clean, but is too small, and the hotel is located in good location as it is convenient to public transportation and walking distance to the old town. Only few points, it's a bit noisy surrounding(from the road), especially at night. The room does not seal and not well sound protected. With the room rate it would be good if the hotel served BF. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Pisit C.

Price / quality ration very good, spacious and clean room. Breakfast simple but more than enough. Nice lobby and friendly staff. Only negative point is the noise at night in the rooms facing the street, very difficult to rest. I was lucky to face the interior areas but my colleagues had trouble sleeping.
Paulina
Working with Michelle from Travel to Fairs is pure pleasure. We had the opportunity to cooperate on several trips to the fair and all the hotels in which we had reservations met our expectations. We feel well taken care of and we will definitely use their services in the future.
