North Rhine-Westphalia, and the first-class

presence of the media industry once again.

The programme will become even more

international. Cologne is and will remain the

ideal meeting point and marketplace for the

telecommunications and media industry.”

ANGA COM is organised by ANGA Services

GmbH, a subsidiary of ANGA The Broadband

Association. Members of the association

are the leading companies of the German

broadband business( including Deutsche

Telekom, Vodafone and Deutsche Glasfaser)

who supply more than

40m consumers with

telecommunications

services in Germany.

The exhibition

is also on course to

break records with

organisers revealing

some two months

before the event

that it had attracted

490 exhibitor

registrations from

over 40 countries and

bookings for more

stand space than in 2024.

At the end of 2024, organisers said it was already clear that the networking and meeting capacities on the fairgrounds will be significantly expanded once again. Among other things, a new ANGA COM Business Centre with extensive logistics for meetings and concentrated office work will be created for this purpose.

“ This year we have turbocharged planning, organisation and sales,” said Charissé.“ Never before have we had so many exhibitor registrations at such an early stage, and never before have we launched the ticket shop for visitors so early. In the conference programme, in addition to the top-class strategy discussions, we will focus on very practical concepts on the key topics of copper-fibre migration, in-house networks, connectivity, AI, sales and cooperations.”
