Exhibition Stand Build At ANGA COM

ANGA COM in Cologne is not just another telecom exhibition.
It is Europe’s largest business platform for broadband networks,
television, video streaming, and digital connectivity.

The ANGA COM exhibition will take place at Koelnmesse, Cologne, Germany.
The organizers position it as the leading business platform
for broadband, media, and connectivity:
here operators, vendors, and content providers meet
to discuss everything from Gigabit networks and FTTH
to cloud TV and artificial intelligence.

For companies, it is a powerful working tool: three days of negotiations,
product premieres, and networking.
For visitors, it is an opportunity to see what the future
of connectivity and media infrastructure will look like.

Video ANGA COM: what the exhibition looks like from the inside

It’s hard to convey the energy of ANGA COM in words alone.
That’s why the organizers release short official highlight videos
after each edition – with panoramic shots of the halls,
conference moments, and networking events.

Who should attend ANGA COM in Cologne

If you work with networks, content, or digital services,
ANGA COM quickly turns from “interesting idea”
into a must-visit event on your annual calendar.

• C-level executives and top managers of telecom operators, cable
  and fiber networks, mobile operators, and ISPs.
• Manufacturers and suppliers of network equipment,
  optics, CPE, OTT and IPTV platforms, CDN, and cloud services.
• Representatives of media groups, TV channels,
  OTT platforms, and studios responsible for content distribution.
• Network engineers, architects, cybersecurity specialists,
  and IT infrastructure experts who want to stay ahead of the curve.
• System integrators, consulting firms,
  Smart City and Smart Home platform developers.
• Investors, industry associations, and government representatives
  interested in the development of digital infrastructure in Europe.

Recent statistics speak for themselves:
over 22–23 thousand participants from more than 80 countries
and hundreds of exhibitors make ANGA COM
a truly international industry magnet.

History of ANGA COM: from ANGA Cable to the streaming era

ANGA COM began its journey as ANGA Cable:
in the early 2000s, a specialized exhibition launched in Cologne
and quickly became one of Europe’s key events for the cable industry.
By the mid-2000s, it was already attracting thousands of visitors
and hundreds of exhibitors every year.

For more than a decade, the show grew as Europe’s leading platform
for cable TV, satellite, and broadband networks.
The growing number of participants and the shift toward
IP technologies, OTT, and video-on-demand led to a natural rebranding:
in 2013 the event became ANGA COM with a broader focus
on “Broadband, Media & Connectivity”.

Today the exhibition is backed by the industry association ANGA Der Breitbandverband,
which unites Germany’s largest operators and dozens of technology companies.
This makes ANGA COM not only a showcase of solutions
but also a strategic venue for discussing regulation and industry development.

Scale and advantages of ANGA COM in numbers

Why is ANGA COM considered the number one
telecom and media event in the DACH region?
It’s not just the name – the figures prove it.

• In 2024 the exhibition set a record:
  23,000 participants from over 80 countries,
  480 exhibitors from 35 countries, and around 25,000 m²
  of exhibition space.
• In 2025 the event attracted around 22,000 participants
  from more than 80 countries and over 500 exhibitors,
  demonstrating sustained market interest.
• The organizers of ANGA COM 2026 are already targeting
  500+ companies from around 40–42 countries
  and more than 22,000 visitors.
• The conference program features over 60 panels
  and more than 250 speakers – from operator CEOs
  to media leaders and technology providers.
• Key topics: Gigabit Networks, FTTH, 5G, DOCSIS 4.0,
  OTT and AppTV, Cloud TV, Video Streaming, AI,
  Smart City, and Smart Home.

In short, ANGA COM delivers a real-time snapshot of the industry:
which technologies are ready for mass deployment,
which business models are working,
and which are still finding their place.

ANGA COM at Koelnmesse: what the venue feels like

Tips and lifehacks for ANGA COM visitors

To make the three days at Koelnmesse as productive as possible,
prepare in advance.

• Start with the official website and exhibitor catalog.
  The ANGA COM site publishes the exhibitor list,
  interactive hall plans, and the full conference program.
  Mark key stands and sessions so day one isn’t just orientation.
• Schedule meetings before you travel.
  Major operators and vendors fill their agendas
  long before the doors open.
  Use catalog contacts and LinkedIn to book slots early.
• Plan for at least two full days.
  Day one: main partners and conference.
  Day two: new companies, startup areas,
  and thematic clusters (e.g., FTTH or video streaming).
• Follow special formats.
  Partner associations run dedicated workshops and BASe sessions
  on niche topics – from XGS-PON and 50G PON
  to new content monetization models.
• Use evening events.
  ANGA COM Night and stand parties are perfect
  for informal conversations with hard-to-reach contacts.
• Sort out logistics early.
  Koelnmesse is right next to Köln Messe/Deutz station;
  hotels during ANGA COM fill up fast – book well ahead.

The Visitor Guide also includes hotel recommendations,
parking info, accessibility services,
and other useful details – worth checking before the trip.

How to exhibit at ANGA COM and the role of a professional stand builder

To become an exhibitor at ANGA COM, register on the official website:
choose the year, product categories, and desired stand size.
After approval, the organizer (ANGA Services GmbH)
confirms your placement in the Koelnmesse halls
and connects you to the exhibitor service package.

• Early-bird registration and discounts are available
  many months in advance – book early to secure the best location.
• Options include standard Koelnmesse shells
  or fully custom exhibition stands.
• Exhibitors receive marketing packages,
  promotion via the ANGA COM website,
  newsletters, and press support.
• Additional opportunities: session sponsorship,
  speaking slots, own workshops, and receptions.

On such a competitive stage, the stand itself matters:
it must support negotiations, demos, and lead generation.
That’s why many companies choose fully custom architectural solutions.

If you don’t have an in-house design team,
it makes sense to work with professionals.
EURO STAND BUILDERS – a trusted European exhibition stand builder –
can create a tailor-made concept for ANGA COM,
taking into account halls 7 & 8 specifics,
organizer requirements, and your team’s workflow.

Another option is to rent a modular stand from EURO STAND BUILDERS
customized to your brand.
You select layout and size; the team handles design,
production, logistics, and installation in Koelnmesse.
On opening day you arrive to a fully ready stand
and focus entirely on meetings and deals.
