There were various presentations from companies (members and non-members) involved in the submarine cable industry. The presentations covered a wide gambit of topics within the theme, including the environment, legal issues, case studies, and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<p>After my presentation on the second day of the plenary, I was formally presented with my award.
