Workshops

• Proposed workshops should provide the latest industry insights into fibre technologies, solutions and strategies that support the deployment and adoption of digital networks across Europe.
• Workshop content should demonstrate thought leadership by showcasing innovation, sharing best practice and/or addressing key industry challenges associated with delivering full-fibre connectivity across Europe.
• Workshops must be educational and non-commercial in nature. Branded product presentations, sales pitches, product demonstrations, or any other form of marketing or promotion are strictly prohibited. Any workshop that does not comply with this requirement may be removed from the programme or stopped immediately.

Speakers:

• It is encouraged that proposed speakers should include senior level external speakers from (for example) telecoms operators, NRAs, investors, financial analysts etc.
• We also strongly encourage diversity and gender balance when selecting speakers and the presence of female speakers will be considered during the selection process.

The Fibre Council Europe provides the necessary technical infrastructure for workshops and as standard will include the following room set-up and technical equipment: 

• 1 x stage of approx 6 x 3 metres with 4 x low comfortable chairs

Workshops will be published as part of the Conference programme on our conference website and mobile app and promoted on our Conference newsletter and social media channels.
In addition, we actively promote workshops via one or more dedicated email communication and push notifications on the mobile app.
We also encourage you to promote your workshop through your own communication channels.

Your speakers should arrive at your allocated Workshop Room 30 minutes before start of their presentation for a technical check. 
Conference staff will assist set-up, hand out microphones and be available for support in case of technical difficulties.
