About ECOC 2027
ECOC 2027 is the 53rd European Conference on Optical Communication, held in Milan and drawing about 7,000 attendees. It pairs a technical research program with a large exhibition covering optical transport, transceivers and data center interconnect.
Who should attend
Attendees include optical networking researchers, transceiver and data center interconnect suppliers, and hyperscale network architects.
Why it matters
Optical interconnect has become a limiting factor in large GPU clusters, and ECOC is where much of that technology is presented first. Recent editions have shifted increasingly toward AI cluster interconnect and co-packaged optics, topics that bear directly on data center and accelerated computing design.
