SUBMARINE TELECOMS FORUM EXCELLENCE IN INDUSTRY AWARD HONOREES

Since SubOptic 2010 in Yokohama, SubTel Forum has presented three Excellence in Industry Awards for each conference. In conjunction and timed with each triennial SubOptic conference, the Excellence in Industry Awards were created to honor the exceptional contributions to the conference, reflecting the best and brightest stars in the submarine profession from across the globe.

The long process managed by each SubOptic conference Papers Committee to select the conference presenters is an arduous task. The Papers Committee’s reviews of the abstracts and papers form the basis of a short list of candi- dates for the Excellence in Industry Awards, thus honoring individuals who have made an impact on the profession through their contribution of papers and posters to the SubOptic conference program.

SubTel Forum again presented Excellence in Industry Awards to honorees during SubOptic 2023. Honorees received a desktop award engraved with the SubOptic logo and presentation of the awards took place during the SubOptic 2023 Closing Ceremony on 16 March. Profiles of the award honorees and their respective papers have been published in this issue of SubTel Forum Magazine. STF
