Additionally\, there will be the opportunity for companies and universities to pitch their capabilities and seek partners for collaboration. To further increase the opportunities for connection we will be offering bookable meeting slots ahead of the event\, as well as a number of tabletop exhibit spaces URL:https://photonicsuk.org/photonicsevent/photonics-for-space LOCATION:National Space Centre\, Leiceter\, Leicester\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231001 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20231006 DTSTAMP:20260408T134904 CREATED:20221025T124936Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221025T125103Z UID:6754-1696118400-1696550399@photonicsuk.org SUMMARY:European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2023 DESCRIPTION:The European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) is the continent’s largest event in the field and one of the most prestigious and traditional events on optical communications worldwide. \nRunning for over 25 years\, the exhibition and conference attracts over 6\,000 decision makers from around the world and returns to SEC in Glasgow in 2023.
