Dr. Peter Charissé, CEO ANGA COM: “We have set ourselves the following main goals for this year: Even more fiber optics, even more international, even more media technology. For this, we have developed two completely new programme formats. There has never been so much new to experience at ANGA COM as this year. The framework for this is provided by two sensationally high-quality exhibition halls, the popular open air plaza with new food trucks, the legendary ANGA COM Night on the banks of the river and numerous side events by exhibitors. Cologne will be the place to be for the telecommunications and media industry again this year. We are ready for summer!”
