The best place to meet the top executives from the optical fibre and cable sector
CRU Events are excited to announce that the World Optical Fibre & Cable Virtual Conference will be held 16-18 November 2021 on our specially developed virtual platform. The event will give leaders of the optical fibre and cable sector the chance to address peers on the role that this industry will play in bringing the world back from this crisis.
With Covid-19 changing our everyday life, and the way we do business, the pandemic has also accelerated the trends towards connected lifestyles that rely on strong communications networks. Optical fiber and cable will be at the core of these trends. For this reason, we are pleased to be able to offer you all the capabilities of the live conference on a virtual platform that offers a unique chance to stay connected and informed.
