About the event
Update
The 2024 edition of ECOC will occur between the 23rd and 25th of September 2024 in Messe Frankfurt. The format of the 2023 event will be in person without strict coronavirus safeguards in place. This is due to the removal of the related domestic and travel restrictions.
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.

I was very happy with my stay at Novum Hotel Lichtburg am Kurfurstendamm***. I'm happy with the standard. It is clean and very well located. And for the price you pay is worth it. Thank you very much. For next edition I will make sure to let you know.
Dear Anna, The Hotel Monte Christo - Koln was great ! Flights was all ok. Hotel Very clean and neat. Hot inside as much as you wish. Very nice hosting service ! The Hotel receptionist man, Swen was very very nice to me, more than helpful and was a real pleasure to deal with him. Alexandra, his colleague also she was very nice, even tough I only deal with her for several hours, before I left the hotel , back to Romania. I know I might not have been so easy to deal person at times, but you was patient to me. I appreciate all your efforts to find the best deal based upon my requests. Thank you again for all your support ! Have a great day !
Everything went fine with the hotel and our trip. We are happy with the job from Megan.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your email.
ANUGA 2023 was successful. The hotel, 25hours Hotel The Circle was a great, convenient location. The staff was quite friendly and the breakfast was good. The drawback for me was very limited space to hang and store clothes. Also, the room not being equipped with an iron and ironing board was not ideal, but the front desk was able to supply upon request. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay.
Though it is still quite early, I suspect I will attend ANUGA 2025.

Dear Megan,
Regarding the hotel, it was ok, some rooms were very small like mine but it was clean. Some other colleagues were happy because they had big rooms with a nice view. The staff was friendly and very useful.

Hi Brian,
I have spoken to two of the people who stayed at the hotel.
The both said it was clean, very convenient for ExCel and good value for money compared to other hotels in the area.

Our trip to the EMO Hanover fair was successful, overall it was a great trip with lots to see and do in Hanover.
We were very satisfied with the accommodation, although we were initially looking for a hotel, we actually preferred the apartment accommodation to that of a hotel.
The service we received from Jane was GREAT.
From the moment Anton sent the request for accommodation, we received a number of accommodation options within our price range.
We have received prompt detailed responses to all the questions we had.
The payment process was simple and easy.
The location of the accommodation was perfect, a nice quiet neighbourhood with easy access to trains for transport and a number of restaurants within walking distance.
I will definitely recommend Travel To Fairs to anyone looking for accommodation when travelling abroad to attend Trade shows.
