WASHINGTON, DC – February 1, 2017 – 

A new manager and new approach is coming to the industry’s foremost conference.

Submarine Telecoms Forum, Inc. (SubTel Forum) ­ – one of the premier news sources for the submarine fibre industry – is pleased to announce that it will manage the organization and staging of SubOptic 2019, which will be held in New Orleans on 8-11 April 2019.

The partnership with SubTel Forum reflects a new method by SubOptic that will produce the best conference experience yet for future participants, allowing SubOptic to concentrate on building a program that will provide maximum value to the industry – supported by a professional event manager with experience in this field, handling logistics for the event.

North America was a natural choice following SubOptic’s tradition of venue rotation across the globe – previously Dubai in 2016, Paris in 2013, Yokohama in 2010 and Baltimore in 2007.

“SubTel Forum is honored to manage SubOptic, an event I’ve personally attended each year since it was held in 1993 in Versailles,” said Submarine Telecoms Forum Publisher and President Wayne Nielsen.  “We are looking forward to continuing its thirty-year tradition in the spirit and high standards the association and its members deserve.”
