Two months before its start, ANGA Cable has said bookings for the show match last year’s record level. More than 360 exhibitors from 32 countries have now booked 95% of space. In the record year 2008, 369 exhibitors showcased on 22,000 sqm gross exhibition space.
ANGA’s MD Peter Charissé said in a statement: “We are very proud that we can hold last year’s record. Like 2008, the exhibition hall will be fully booked again, and the congress agenda is even more attractive. In Cologne, the cable and broadband industry will impressively prove its role as a growth driver.“
The show’s organisers also unveiled details of the English language conference programme. A highlight will be the international Broadband Summit.
