EXHIBITION IN EUCNC 2024 & 6G SUMMIT
The 2024 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society and by the European Association for Signal Processing, and focuses on all aspects of telecommunications ranging from 5G deployment and mobile loT to 6G exploration and future communications systems and networks, including experimentation and testbeds, and applications and services. It brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years more than 900 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world, to present and discuss the latest results, and an exhibition with more than 70 exhibitors, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area, namely within research projects from EU R&l programmes. The conference has a not-for-profit organisation, hence, registration fees are as low as possible and all surplus will be made available in grants. Best Papers and Booth Awards will be granted. Accepted and presented papers for regular sessions will be published in the Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore and other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
In parallel to the events, there will be a major exhibition, presenting a wide range of technologies, products and results from European Commission co-funded projects. Prominent research institutions, SMEs as well as large industries from Europe and other parts of the world will be showcasing at EuCNC & 6G Summit. Exhibitions may address one or more Tracks, but they should be organised under a unified theme. Exhibitions are expected to show the demonstration of novel technologies and their application. Exhibitions are supposed to have at least one person present, at least during lunch and coffee breaks, in order to present the demonstration to attendees.
Exhibitions proposals should be submitted via a specific form, available on the button below by the deadline, Mar. 29th, 2024, to the Exhibitions Co-Chairs, Jeroen Famaey, Emrah Kinav and Michael Dieudonne, via email to exhibit-eucnc6gs@grow.tecnico.ulisboa.pt. Proposers should provide information on the Title, Objective, Motivation and Background, Description, and associated Requirements. The name of the file should be the Exhibition & Demonstration title (abbreviated, if necessary).
*When submitting your proposal, please include a high-definition logo, preferably in vector format such as SVG, PDF, or PNG with high resolution. This is a mandatory requirement for submission along with your application. Please be aware that as the exhibitor, you are responsible for the quality of the printed banner displaying your booth’s logo and title. The organizer will use the material you submit for printing. If your logo is low definition or in JPG format, the printed banner will also be of low quality.

CONGRESS VENUE
2024 EuCNC & 6G Summit will take place at the Flanders Meeting and Convention Center Antwerp – “A Room with a ZOO”
A Room with a ZOO is better known as Elisabeth Center Antwerp (ECA) or he Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp (FMCCA) and is a stately gem in ZOO Antwerp. Since 1843, the award-winning ZOO has been a green oasis that connects people by showcasing life and building bridges between people, both socially and professionally. It is the perfect setting for our EuCNC 6G Summit.
A Room with a ZOO consists of the magnificent Historical Wing, the modern Carnot Wing and the impressive Queen Elizabeth Hall. The entire building comprises 25000 metres of conference and event space that you can divide into as many as 30 different rooms. Each room in the Historical Wing has its own theme. They named the rooms in the Carnot Wing after their animals. Besides the eye, the stomach wants something too. The building is therefore equipped with an underground ‘full-service’ production kitchen for our in-house Elisabeth Catering.
