SubOptic 2025, the industry-renowned submarine telecoms conference, will be held in Lisbon, Portugal from 2 - 5 June 2025.
SubOptic is unique in being the only submarine industry gathering at which all content is selected on merit by as experienced a committee as it is possible to assemble. To have a paper chosen for oral or poster presentation is a notable achievement, recognition by your industry peers of the excellence of the work, and this will be as true as ever for SubOptic 2025.
