Learn about the attendee profile, tickets, and how to prepare your B2B prospecting. [Web](http://www.ecocexhibition.com) TelecommunicationsTechnology & ITDeep Tech Joaquín Montesinos • Published August 26, 2026 Optical communications activity concentrates in Malaga in late September with a combined conference and exhibition schedule designed to separate technical programming from product display. The conference runs 20 to 24 September while the exhibition hall is open 21 to 23 September. ## Dates and format in Malaga The five-day conference overlaps the three-day exhibition to allow delegates to mix technical sessions with vendor meetings. Key programmed strands include Market Focus and Product Focus with timetables published in advance, and an FTTx Showcase where exhibitors can present products free of charge. ## What to expect at ECOC 2026 The event groups market-oriented sessions and product demonstrations. Market Focus gathers speakers on procurement and strategy, Product Focus showcases new equipment and practical innovations, and the FTTx Showcase highlights access network deployments. The Industry Awards winners will be announced live on Monday 21 September. Specific industry sessions include a panel on XPO scheduled for 21 September from 16:00 to 17:00 where system builders and module vendors discuss deployment challenges. ## Exhibitor profile and offer mix ECOC brings together companies across optical components, fiber and interconnect systems, test equipment and solutions for access and data center networks. Sponsors and media partners are active in pre-event promotion and on-site coverage. The exhibition space has been reported as sold out, so visitor activity and demonstrations gain greater prominence for commercial engagement. ## Practical tips for B2B prospecting - Map the Product Focus timetable against your priorities and mark the sessions where customers or complementary vendors present. - Request demo slots in the FTTx Showcase to secure hands-on time with technical buyers. - Prepare short technical briefs and deployment case studies to accelerate technical due diligence meetings. - Block time around the Industry Awards ceremony; nominees and attendees concentrate relevant industry stakeholders. ## Closing note and official link For organizations that supply high-capacity interconnects or components for optical networks, reviewing the published timetables and exhibitor list is essential before travel.
