Wilkommen in Düsseldorf!
In fact, there are at least four welcomes to extend to ECOC attendees this week: to this fabulous city of the Rhein; to both the ECOC conference and its ever-growing associated exhibition; and to this biggest ever issue of Optical Connections, which will give you a taste of what to expect. ECOC is the largest conference on optical communication in Europe, and one of the most prestigious and long-standing events in this field worldwide. This event showcases state-of-the-art developments in optical communications from newly-deployed systems meeting today’s market needs to academic solutions for future networks. Now in its 20th year, the ECOC Exhibition has this year brought together more than 5,000 decision makers from all around the world – developers, manufacturers, suppliers and service providers to networking – to gain insights on innovation, new products and trends in the industry. And, of course, to network, network, network with this amazing community! Featuring over 300 exhibitors, the show is packed with interactive features, working systems and expert-led seminars. Live demonstrations are provided in the FTTx Village and free training sessions cover every angle from splicing to software. The ever-popular Market Focus theatre has a packed schedule of thought-provoking presentations by the leading players from optics today. Download the schedule. And when you need a breather from all this, make sure to see the fabulous city of Düsseldorf, which has been in the vanguard of technology innovation since its famous sons Kraftwerk first switched on their synthesizers to give us Autobahn, The Model and Tour de France. The city has so much to offer, whether it’s strolling through the legendary Altstadt, famous for its 260 inns and restaurants, visiting the famous shopping street Königsallee, or simply taking a walk along the Rhine embankment promenade. So to all our visitors, we wish you a successful time at ECOC 2016 and viel Glück in Düsseldorf!
