CALL FOR SPEAKERS Now in its sixteenth successful year, ECOC Exhibition’s Market Focus is one of the focal points of the show and a popular platform to gain industry knowledge and insight into the latest technologies available. Remote sensing, lidar, and free space optics will be among the latest trends discussed at this year’s Market Focus, with a Free Space Optics track set to run for the first time. We are looking forward to continuing the success of Market Focus in 2020 and we are delighted to welcome back the industry experts who make up the ECOC Advisory Committee. If you are interested in speaking at the ECOCMarket Focus please email emma.harvey@nexusmediaevents.com stating your company name, position, topic of interest and a 100 word summary of your presentation theme with a title based on one of the topics below, by Friday 9th July 2021.
Speakers in 2020 included: Source Photonics Supriyo Dey II-VI Sanjai Parthasarathi Corning Roshene McCool Huawei Dr. Christopher Janz Arista Andreas Bechtolsheim OIF Karl Gass
