OFC - Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition




OFC's technical conference has something for everyone. From interactive workshops to symposia, from special sessions to tutorials. OFC offers an array of industry discussions around hot topics like generative AI and ML for optical networking, subsea networks, data center architectures, space optics, quantum communications and more.
There has been a notable emphasis on energy efficiency to address the escalating power consumption challenges in data centers, particularly due to the increased capacity needs and the expansion of AI-driven applications. Look for special sessions, workshops, tutorials and invited speaker discussions that explore innovative technologies such as linear drive pluggable optics (LPO), co-packaged optics (CPO), optical switching and other emerging solutions aimed at reducing power consumption in optical interfaces within the network.
OFC Representative in China - Wen Global
Since 1999, Wen Global has been collaborating with Optica (formerly OSA), the IEEE Photonics Society, and the IEEE Communications Society for the OFC. Each year, Wen Global facilitates the participation of Chinese companies in the OFC exhibition. The number of Chinese exhibitors has grown significantly over the years, expanding from an initial 6 Chinese exhibitors to more than 200 Chinese exhibitors .
