Event overview

The ECOC programme is 30 years old. The demand from cities to hold the title shows no sign of abating, already over 15 cities in Germany are planning bids for the 2025 title. In this talk and discussion Steve will outline the current objectives and process and critique the programme from the standpoint of the various stakeholders.
