ECOC 2026 (European Conference on Optical Communications) in Málaga is Europe’s largest and the world’s second-largest optical communications event, drawing industry and academic researchers to discuss advances and future trends in optical communications and networks. The program spans the full field, with emphasis on emerging areas like AI, IoT, and quantum technologies, and runs alongside the ECOC Exhibition, Europe’s largest optical communications trade show and a key gathering point for decision-makers. Organizers expect a record number of attendees.
