ECOC 2023
49th European Conference on Optical Communications
1 - 5 October 2023 | SEC | Glasgow | Scotland
Europe’s leading conference on optical communications, and one of the most prestigious and long-standing events in the field worldwide.
We welcomed over 1,400 attendees from 39 countries, who heard 599 presentations.
ECOC continued its tradition of a wide variety of session formats, and as well as the traditional oral and poster presentations, delegates enjoyed a hackathon, workshops, and the ever-popular Rump Session debate.
Social events provided a great opportunity for networking and experiencing Scottish culture in some spectacular venues.
