Australasian Submarine Cable Infrastructure Conference

Join us in June for this landmark event which will focus on all things related to the build out of new submarine cable infrastructure in the Australasian region. This event immediately follow’s Informa’s hugely successful Australian Data Centres Power & Water Summit, and will provide a timely gathering for the many players in the submarine cable sector.

Australia is experiencing an enormous surge in billions of dollars of investment in new data centres across the country. The forecast infrastructure spend to keep Australia at the forefront of the AI boom is simply unprecedented, but critically Australia will require much more submarine cable connectivity to near and far markets to enable this new industry.

Key topics to be covered include:

• Australia’s role in the global submarine cable ecosystem
• Insights into Australia’s strategic position in global connectivity and future opportunities
• The latest updates on new submarine cable infrastructure that is under development and planned for the Australasian region
• Review of the data centre build timeline, and the implications for connectivity for various regions in Australia
• Latest Federal and State Government initiatives to enable submarine cable infrastructure
• Emerging technologies in submarine cable systems
• Discussions on advancements in cable design, data capacity and environmental sustainability
• Building resilient submarine cable networks – including sessions on best practices for cable installation, maintenance and disaster recovery
• Lessons learned from recent submarine cable projects in our region – including an analysis of challenges, successes and innovations
• Navigating legal and regulatory frameworks for submarine cables
• Plans for more diversified landing stations across the country
• The interplay between the connection of new submarine cables and new terrestrial cables in Australia
• The future for connectivity in the next decade
