SubOptic 2023, the industry-renowned submarine telecoms conference, will be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 13 – 16 March 2023. A triennial event, the SubOptic conference is the longest running and most comprehensive conference series in the world for the submarine cable industry.

The event promises to be the best yet with a comprehensive world class agenda, an exhibition showcasing the latest subsea technologies and a multitude of networking opportunities. All set in the vibrant and exciting city of Bangkok, an Asian hub and gateway to the East.

Floating offshore wind energy is an emerging technology that provides access to new wind generation sites allowing for a diversified wind supply in future low carbon electricity systems. The technology allows power generators to tap into areas with much higher wind speeds since it can be deployed in deep waters far away from the coast where winds are stronger.

3rd Annual Subsea Cable Installation, Asset Management & Reliability Forum brings together key experts from the wind power community globally to discuss the current challenges in continuous risk assessment for cables, cable burial, route optimization, cost reduction, cable repairs, operation and maintenance, and life extension to identify best practices. It will showcase real practical examples on what the industry can do to produce optimized solution across the board with regards to survey, burial, engineering, installation, protection, and repair and explore new areas of innovation and techniques for cost reduction. This event provides a unique platform to exchange ideas, network with key representatives from the offshore wind power community and exchange experience to successfully master offshore power cable and installation, maintenance, protection, and repair processes.

The ICPC Plenary attracts global attendance and provides valuable opportunities to exchange ideas on the planning, installation, operation, protection and maintenance of cables, to learn from colleagues facing similar challenges, and to get up-to-date with environmental and legal aspects of submarine cables. The Plenary Agenda includes presentations, round tables and interviews.

2023 ICPC Plenary Theme: Submarine Cable Resilience – Back to Basics

The International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC) is a non-commercial, non-profit international community of interest comprising more than 190 member organisations from 69 countries who are active in the critical activities of building, operating, and maintaining submarine telecommunications and power cable infrastructure. ICPC members represent over 98% of the world’s submarine telecommunications cable infrastructure, and an increasing number of international submarine power cables.

The digital revolution in the telecoms sector has led to growing demand for new and innovative technologies.

The technologies that we once considered ‘emerging’, are having their moment and we can expect to see more of this in 2023.

From digital transformation to 5g rollout, the Internet-off Everything and cloud native networks; cyber security, content production and the connected customer, you can expect the top trends to be covered at Telecoms World Middle East 2023.

As our event evolves, we welcome a new dynamic to the conference – Connected Middle East. An exciting addition that explores how next generation broadband technologies, especially fibre and 5G, are enabling exciting new opportunities across the region, taking a clear focus on the customer, whether that’s business, communities, or for individuals.

We have intentionally designed this event to promote knowledge exchange and to showcase best-in-class tech solutions that stand out. There’s never been a better time for the region’s TMT industry to come together and learn how to survive and thrive in the future environment.

This is where Telecoms World Middle East comes in, uniting leading stakeholders from across the entire telco ecosystem to collaborate and drive the performance and sustainability of new technology. We guarantee to give you an experience that is engaging, collaborative and worthwhile.

Telecoms World Middle East gives our partners the platform to turn disruption into opportunity – this is the most productive business and networking opportunity of the year.
