3rd Comtech Conference
3rd Comtech Conference 27–28 October 2026 | Szekszárd, Hungary, Sponsored by Vecima
This year, we are hosting the Comtech Conference for the third time, bringing together professionals from the cable and broadband industry to exchange ideas and discuss the present and future of the market.
Technology continues to evolve, industry needs are changing, and new solutions are creating both new opportunities and new challenges. The conference aims to bring together service providers, manufacturers, system integrators and industry experts, providing a platform for professional knowledge exchange, the presentation of new technologies and discussions about future network strategies.
What can participants expect?
- Current market and technology trends
- Expert presentations and the latest technology developments
- Discussions on future network solutions
- Knowledge and experience sharing with industry peers
- Networking and new business opportunities
Alongside the professional programme, we will also make the most of the unique setting of Szekszárd and the Takler Estate. Participants will have the opportunity to discover the wines of the Szekszárd wine region, with a winery visit and wine tasting also included in the programme. The more informal parts of the event will provide plenty of opportunities to continue professional conversations outside the conference room.
Because the best conversations don’t always happen in the conference room.
