AFOR to Join FTTH Congress CEE 2025 in Warsaw

The Association of Fiber Optics from Romania (AFOR) is honored to participate in the FTTH Congress CEE 2025, taking place on 7–8 October 2025 in Warsaw, organized by the FTTH Council Europe. This participation is made possible through a long-term partnership that has been in place since 2014.

A Continuity of Collaboration

AFOR has consistently contributed to the regional and European fiber optic dialogue. Earlier this year, on 13 May 2025, we hosted the Romanian Fiber Optic Conference (RFOC 2025), where we had the honor of welcoming Mr. Vincent Garnier as a keynote speaker — a continuation of his participation in our 2023 edition. More details about past conferences can be found here:

In addition, AFOR actively participated in the FTTH Conference 2025 in Amsterdam, where we moderated the 5th edition of the workshop “Fiber Optic Trainings in Europe” and presented for the second time with a booth, following our debut in Berlin in 2024.

Romania in Focus at FTTH Congress CEE 2025

As part of this year’s program in Warsaw, AFOR will join the Romania Panel, moderated by Veronica Bocarova. The panel will provide insights into the current state and future outlook of fiber deployments in Romania — the leading country in Europe for fiber penetration.

Confirmed speakers include:

Iosif Popa, ANCOM (online)
Iulian Gimiga, Orange Romania
Adrian Racasan, Netcity Telecom
Bogdan Ivascu, Prime Telecom
Eric Baleanu, Interlan
Cornel Barbut, AFOR
Join Us in Warsaw

We warmly invite all professionals and stakeholders interested in the development of FTTH networks in Romania to join us on 8 October 2025 at 9:30 CET. This panel will be an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge, explore investment perspectives, and understand the regulatory and technical frameworks driving Romania’s fiber leadership.

AFOR remains committed to strengthening Romania’s position in the European fiber landscape and looks forward to continuing this journey together with its partners at FTTH Congress CEE 2025.
