The annual FTTH Conference is Europe’s leading fibre summit, bringing together the global fibre ecosystem for three days of insight, collaboration and high-level debate. With over 3,500 participants, including an exceptional 25% C-level audience, the conference convenes more than 1,000 companies from over 100 countries, spanning operators, investors, vendors and policymakers. 

In April, the FTTH Conference returns with an expanded focus on the UK market, welcoming a substantial audience of UK fibre operators and investors alongside its established pan-European community. This unique mix makes the event a must-attend for anyone shaping the future of fibre connectivity. 

techUK is proud to be a partner of the FTTH Conference and will be hosting an exclusive workshop with INCA on Day 1, offering members a dedicated opportunity to engage on key policy, market and deployment challenges facing the UK fibre sector.
