Networking Opportunities We meet a large number of people at SubOptic that we normally don’t see at other conferences. SubOptic offers a first-rate venue where all players, from suppliers to providers, in the submarine telecommunications industry come together. It’s a great forum to meet with peers and exchange ideas. This industry is relatively small, and SubOptic is the venue for the industry’s community gathering, giving attendees the opportunity to reconnect with old or lost acquaintances. Expectations We come to SubOptic to garner new views, see papers with elements of rigour and originality, and we hope to leave with fresh, thoughtprovoking ideas and many new industry contacts.
