It was great to get the help from Travel to Fairs helping me to find a suitable hotel for a group of 5-6 people attending Ambiente 2024. We were late in arranging how many would go and always adding more people but Jack Turner and his colleagues solved all our needs fast and with a remarkable patience. I recommend Travel to fairs to everyone travelling for work.
ECOC 2024
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.

Dear Ellie, Thank you for your assistance. The Hotel you suggested was fine for my son and collegue, Szabolcs Török. He was satisfied. It would be a good hotel for him for the next Frankfurt Book Fair. Best regards on behalf of Szabolcs, too, Margit Gruber/DS Budapest Kft

Dear Ben,
The fair was very successful and I really liked the hotel where I stayed with my colleague. It was perfect, right next to the subway and only 15 minutes away from the book fair.
I will use your services again for sure, thank you for making the experience so enjoyable.
Best regards,
