Update
The 2026 edition of ECOC will occur between the 21st and 23rd of September 2026 in the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Preface
The ECOC is the meeting place for professionals from the fibre optics sector. It is the central location for learning about the latest innovations and challenges. The fair furthermore is the location where professionals can learn about new solutions. ECOC is Europe’s most extensive optical communications trade exhibition. Each edition takes place in a different European city. The hosting cities include metropolises such as Bordeaux, Brussels, and Dublin. The ECOC Exhibition is an event with a high level of attendance. For example, one edition received 253 exhibiting companies and 7,243 attendees. The visiting nations include China, the UK, the United States, and India.
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. Optical Integration acknowledges innovative technologies that improve capability while lowering power consumption and costs. The Optical Transport Award lauds design that promotes longer reach and others. The Innovations Award Ceremony coincides with the Optical Connections events.

Good day.
I´m fine. I hope you too.
Thank you for asking. This is the second time my colleagues stayed at this hotel because of its proximity to the fairgrounds and comfortable facilities.
We knew it thanks to Megan and already accommodated in 2022 during the same fair.
Compared to the previous time I was informed by colleagues that the treatment was not that good.
On the other hand, the treatment with Megan Moore has always been very correct and efficient. I hope to contact her for other alternatives next time.

Morning Tom,
Many thanks. The B&B Hotel was very nice actually. Fairly basic, but perfect for business travel. Clean, efficient and helpful staff, and a decent location overall.
Many thanks for your help.
Best,

Tom Many thanks for your e mail. I have left some feedback with the hotel but I thought the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was usefeul & the food was excellent. In terms of location it was perfect. I would definitely recommend the hotel for future stays. 5 stars from me & if it is good enough to accommodate both Robbie savage and Howard Webb then it was good enough for me. In terms of your service you provided it was excellent and hassle free – it takes the stress out of looking for hotels. Are you a partner for the accommodation side of DSEi as we will probably look to exhibit in 2017 – I would love to stay at the hotel again but recognise that you can only book maybe 10 – 12 months in advance ?
Regards Scott

Good Morning Tracy,
how are you?
Just a quick feed back about Gideon Hotel.
Excellent, confortable, good cleaning, lovely position in the center of Nuernberg, good connection with the exhibition center.
Katharinenhaus parking place for the cars was just round the corner 5 minutes walking. Very good.
Breakfast not so much to be honest.
Check in a little bit complicate after 08.00 pm.
Generally speaking it was good.
Thank you so much for your co-operation.
Keep in touch.
Best Regrads.

Dear Tom!
After the fair I return to the routine! I would like to thanks you to advise us the Maritim Hotel Koln. During our stay in Koln we enjoy the accomodation in this hotel near to the fair, near to the center, beautiful, good service, nice rooms very spacious and clean, fantastic buffet, restaurant Skyline really charming and with a high-quality food... Everything very well. It's sure for the next 2017 Interzum fair I'll contact you and I don't book now because I don't know for the moment the dates! ha, ha, ha! Thanks a lot for your always support and collaboration and I'll work with you again. Sure!
