Join the key industry players to discuss the impact of new technology & innovation and frame your upcoming optical network strategy.
COVID-19 UPDATE
NEW DATES ANNOUNCED: 1-3 December 2020, Barcelona, Spain
After close consultation with our partners and advisors, we have made the difficult decision to postpone NGON & DCI World, until 1 – 3 December 2020. The event will still take place at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower in Barcelona, Spain. The experience and the health and safety of our customers, partners and staff always comes first to us in the delivery of our events, and the global situation with Covid-19 means we can no longer deliver the full show experience following these values. Having spent the past 9 months preparing for NGON & DCI World with all our key stakeholders and partners, we are greatly disappointed that we will not be able to host you in Barcelona in June. However, we are confident that our exciting plans will not be wasted and will be brought back to life again, later in the year. Please reach out to a member of the team if you have any questions or concerns.
