Stay tuned for more updates as we build up to ECOC 2026. For now, we leave you with some of our visitors’ favourite memories from the past 30 years of ECOC👇
The best the memory was the first time she sabik at the market focus. For me, that's a big deal. I really like the market focus. I think that's a hallmark for ECC. I think the biggest sort of joke memory on how I used to do all the all the video interviewing and at one time we had a show in Geneva and decided to do the intro from a rolling escalator. So the cameraman was going one way and I was going the other and we had to make sure the intro finished at the point. Where he was nearest to me, everybody thought we were crackers on the staircase, but it was fantastic. So over the years I have attended several epochs and one particular event which I enjoy the most is the market focus. And I had a chance to once present that the market focus. This was really a very nice experience and I have attended the market focus session this year also. They have a very exciting program and I'm looking forward to the market focus sessions for this year as well. Well, one of my favorite memories from Ecocar when it's. When the company was not even incorporated yet and we were running around the conference with a suitcase with some prototypes of our products. And that's when our first leads got got, we got contacted and it was it was very, very, very meaningful for the start of our company. There's so many really good memories of ECOC. I've been coming for many years and sometimes difficult, hard to pick just one, but one of my favorite ones is this is a. Opponent show so it's a lot of very, very small tech pieces of technology. One of the things we use to kind of create a more enriching experiences use augmented reality and we take these small components and blow them up really big using the VR headset. So we had our board of directors in chilling them our technology and standing off to the side you see them all with the headsets on and you know there's all these powerful businessmen and they're waving their hands around in the air interacting with these 3D objects and so it's kind of fun to see your board of directors engaging in augmented reality. With all of your really small technology. So wow, there's so many memories, but my, I do have a favorite 1. So there's a few years ago I'm trying to remember, I think it was a Rome and I had just come off of a market focus presentation on some next Gen. technology and an industry luminary took me aside and said, Hey, we got to do this. And we go, wow, that is really cool. We ended up creating a brand new market platform. It was, it's a brand new product platform for a completely new market. We created a market together and, and that was super cool that that's the kind of innovation. That epoch health sparks, right? Getting the the people to come together to showcase the technologies and then the customer goes, wow, can we do this? And we go, wow, that's nice. Yeah, I've been to many ***** because I'm in the market for over 30 years and I have some good memories like Torino. But there were also places like the Mini, which like kind of questionable. But this event is so amazing here. We're happy to be here. And yes, all guys like me really enjoying the atmosphere so buzzing and full of energy here. Yep, happy to be here.
