ANAHEIM, California—This year’s OFC Conference and Exhibition, held March 20 – 24 at the Anaheim Convention Center, featured 580 exhibiting companies, more than 1,160 peer-reviewed papers and exceeded 13,000 attendees, an increase from 2015. An exciting array of show floor programs featuring industry experts highlighted the need to keep current with developments in the field. Mirroring a dynamic and growing industry, OFC continued its multi-year growth pattern with 10 percent growth in net square footage sold.
“OFC is the networking event of the year,” said Kathleen Tse, AT&T, OFC 2016 General Chair. “It’s where the global community involved in optical and data networking comes together to take the pulse of the industry. This year was no exception. The event’s premier conference program reflects the hard work and dedication of many, including the technical program chairs, subcommittee chairs and committee members. Thank you to all the volunteers for their contribution to this world-class conference.” [more]
