Subsea EMEA is the leading industry meeting for subsea cable executives from Europe, the Middle East & Africa. The elite submarine cable-focused event is situated in the international subsea cable terminal hub of Marseille. As bandwidth demands grow, rumours of new projects circulate and the industry thrives, it is paramount that those spearheading the current subsea cable boom unite to converse with new business partners, as well as debate new technologies changing the face of legacy networks and new high-capacity systems. Subsea EMEA is the leading annual meeting for 300+ commercial subsea experts from carriers, data centres, vendors, IXPs, cloud & content providers from throughout the EMEA region.

CONTENTS

I believe Marseille is a very important point for the submarine cable industry in Europe. It is a natural hub for all traffic coming from East Africa and the Middle East.

Ricardo Orcero, Sourcing Manager, FACEBOOK

It’s literally the right number of people coming here that I need to see. I’m just here to talk to people and get my business done quickly.

Chris George, Global Network Acquisition, GOOGLE
