The European Conference on Optical Communication, usually shortened to ECOC, is a recurring meeting for researchers and professionals working on optical communications. It brings academic and industrial participants together to discuss research, engineering and the development of optical networks. The subject connects work on light-based components with the systems used to carry communications traffic. [Conference website](https://ecoc2026.org/ECOC2026)
ECOC combines a technical conference with an industry exhibition. The conference provides a setting for research presentations and discussion, while the exhibition gives suppliers a place to show equipment and demonstrate products. Those linked activities explain its role as both a research meeting and a venue for commercial technology announcements.
