ANGA COM today released the programme for its new, interactive conference format: the ANGA COM Round Tables. This innovative format complements the already published strategy and technology programme by providing a platform for in-depth exchange in smaller groups. The Round Tables focus particularly on interactivity and practical relevance. Pre-registration is required; participation is free of charge for all visitors who already hold an exhibition or conference ticket for ANGA COM 2026.

ANGA COM today released its conference programme for 19 to 21 May 2026 in Cologne. This year’s agenda focuses on the current key topics in the telecommunications and media industries. With a high density of CEOs across more than 50 panels and over 200 top-class speakers, the three-day event provides exhibitors and visitors with a high-profile and international business platform.

Visitors and exhibitors at ANGA COM can look forward to another major premiere in Cologne from 19 to 21 May 2026: the “Intelligent Connectivity Park”. This joins the existing Showroom In-house Networks and the new interactive ANGA COM Round Tables format. With a modern space concept consistently focused on innovation and interaction, the event is breaking entirely new ground in the central area of hall 7. For the first time, the “Intelligent Connectivity Park” offers specialized, compact theme clusters for Artificial Intelligence, cloud solutions, data centers and resilience in one central location designed specifically for exchange and networking.

ANGA COM starts on 19 May 2026 with a top-level Gigabit Summit: Dr. Karsten Wildberger, Federal Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, will be joined in the discussion by: Santiago Argelich Hesse (CEO, o2 Telefónica Deutschland), Marcel de Groot (CEO, Vodafone Deutschland), Timo von Lepel (Managing Director, NetCologne) and Andreas Pfisterer (CEO, Deutsche Glasfaser). Federal Minister Dr. Wildberger will also open ANGA COM with a keynote speech.

ANGA COM is expanding its 2026 programme with an innovative interactive element: the “ANGA COM Round Tables”. From 19 to 21 May 2026, Cologne will once again become the central marketplace for the telecommunications and media industry – complemented by a format that enables in-depth exchange in smaller groups.

ANGA COM is set to be a huge success next year – with even more highlights and new features: Dr. Karsten Wildberger, Federal Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, will deliver the keynote speech at the start of the show on 19 May 2026 and will also take part in the subsequent opening discussion, the Gigabit Summit.

ANGA COM Exhibition and Conference remains on the road to success: More than six months before the start in May 2026, exhibitor registrations for already 75 percent of the stand space of 2025 have been received. Stand allocation is currently in full swing. As part of its thematic development, both the name and logo of ANGA COM will be updated: In the future, it will be called “ANGA COM Exhibition and Conference for Broadband, Media & Connectivity”.

More than eight months before the start of ANGA COM 2026, there is already high demand for stand space. Exhibitor registrations have already been received for more than 60 percent of the available stand space. The booking status for large stands is particularly good. Europe's leading Exhibition and Conference for broadband, fiber, media distribution and connectivity will take place in Cologne/Germany from 19 to 21 May 2026.
