which includes an exhibition floor, has been held in different locations around Europe since 2004.
1.1. Attendees: numbers and profiles
In recent years, the FTTH Conference has gathered approximately 3,000 attendees per edition, and the numbers for the FTTH
Conference 2018 in Valencia, Spain in February were no different. For the upcoming edition in Amsterdam the FTTH Council
Europe expects a similar range of participants.
The profiles of the attendees:
• Decision makers from the European Commission, regulators, national government and municipalities
• Management level attendees from operators (incumbents, alternative operators, utility companies)
• Investment banks, financing institutions
• Management level attendees from service and application providers
• Analysts and industry experts
• Technical experts from industry, operators and academia
• Media representatives
1.2. Topics
The FTTH Conference covers the hot topics of fibre rollout in Europe. For 2019 the main topics will be:
• Latest fibre-enabled technologies and solutions
• Financing of fibre networks
• Marketing of fibre networks and take rates
• The role of fibre in smart cities and smart regions
• Fibre-enabled services including including Connected Homes, IoT, eHealth and elderly care,
eGovernment and new smart ways of working
• Market insights and yearly panorama with ranking of countries in FTTH/B
1.3. Workshops
The first day of the FTTH Conference (12 March) offers approximately ten workshop streams to discuss specific topics in
detail. Those topics are in line with the main conference programme. The workshops are either organised by the FTTH
Council Europe or by external parties, in which case the FTTH Council Europe acts as a host of the workshop.
1.4. Exhibition
The exhibition of the FTTH Conference on 13 and 14 March shows the latest products, solutions and trends for FTTH
networks. More than 90 members of the FTTH Council Europe are represented in the Exhibition Hall and offer hands-on
experience of their latest innovations.
1.5. Networking
The FTTH Conference is a perfect networking and meeting place for anyone who is interested in fibre access networks. The
unique “all inclusive” concept allows delegates to stay at the conference for the full three days. Breakfast, coffee breaks,
delicious lunches and cocktail receptions – all served in the exhibition area on 13 and 14 March – enable participants to
benefit from an effective networking environment. A special “Dutch Bar” will offer a perfect meeting place in the exhibition
