ANGA COM-REGISTRATION RECORD / New record for ANGA COM registrations six weeks before start

Cologne / Germany / Bucharest (MEDIA EXPRES) / 27 April 2015 / Six weeks prior to ANGA COM start, 440 exhibitors from 35 countries registered for the Exhibition and Congress for Broadband, Cable & Satellite, while rented floor space has exceeded last year’s level, according to a press release.

Dr. Peter Charissé, Managing Director of ANGA COM: “Bookings far exceed our expectations. New entries in the area of network technology and software systems have enabled us to more than make up for market development-related declines in suppliers of set-top boxes. We have also further expanded our industry cooperations. We have recently welcomed eco, the German Internet industry association, representing around 800 companies, as the 14th industry association.”

In keeping with the motto “Where Broadband meets Content“, the congress which takes place in parallel to the exhibition, addresses the broadband and media industry alike. The congress features a total of 24 expert panels with more than 130 speakers and moderators and is held in cooperation with the media congress Medienforum NRW and 14 leading broadband and media industry associations. Key topics are TV Everywhere, Video on Demand, Multiscreen, Cloud TV, All over IP, broadband expansion, FTTH, DOCSIS 3.1, UHDTV, DVB-T2, Connected Home, RDK, WLAN, CCAP, network neutrality, media policy, digitization, and competition regulations.

The congress will start with a joint opening of ANGA COM and Medienforum NRW with Hannelore Kraft, Prime Minister of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Thomas Braun, President of the Association of German Cable Operators. Participating in the opening discussion will be Dr. Manuel Cubero (Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland), Michael T. Fries (Liberty Global), Wolfgang Elsäßer (Astra Deutschland), and Lutz Schüler (Unitymedia) on behalf of the network operators. The media companies will be represented by Conrad Albert (ProSiebenSat.1), Dr. Thomas Bellut (ZDF), Kasia Kieli (Discovery Networks), and Marc Schröder (RTL Deutschland Media Group).

The International Broadband Summit is the highlight of the international programme section which is made up of 10 panels in English altogether.
