Critical Communications World 2025

Serving the sector for more than 20 years, Critical Communications World (CCW) unites mission-critical and business-critical end-users with manufacturers and suppliers for three days of inspiration, knowledge and connections. Presented by The Critical Communications Association - TCCA, and organised by MA Exhibitions, CCW brings together the sector's best and brightest with the best opportunity to view the latest technology and forge new business relationships with partners from across the globe.

Taking place 17th-19th June 2025 at Brussels Expo, Belgium, CCW provides a central location that facilitates participation from stakeholders across the European Union and beyond.

CCW comprises several key components that make it the leading global destination for the sector:

EXHIBITION & NETWORKING

Discover cutting-edge technology as suppliers and manufacturers and get hands-on with new equipment. Meet over 100 internal brands and find the latest technologies as you build strong supply chain partnerships. Exhibitors include Platinum Sponsor Motorola Solutions and Gold Sponsor Ericsson.

EXPERT-LED CONFERENCE

As has become a hallmark for CCW, the conference programme will be delivered by thought leaders and influencers from across the globe. Keynote presentations, panel discussions, and debates will inform you of the latest trends and factors impacting the sector. The theme for 2025 is Working together - advancing global critical communications for a safer, more connected world.

ASTRID USER DAYS

Our host operator, ASTRID, will host its User Days in conjunction with CCW. This presents a unique opportunity for the event that will attract more visitors than ever before.

FOCUS FORUMS

In-depth, deep-dive sessions providing knowledge sharing and comprehensive updates in specific topic areas. The focused sessions will comprise multiple presentations, interactive discussions and roundtables, allowing specialists to come together to learn about developments and share their own challenges, experiences and skills.

GUIDED TECH TOURS

Take a detailed look at specific areas of interest with an opportunity to meet carefully selected exhibitors and watch live product demonstrations, ask your questions, and explore new and innovative technologies.

ROUNDTABLES

Interactive discussions led by industry experts and thought-leaders.  The roundtables allow more time to promote in depth discussion than is possible during the conference sessions.  Seize opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with the experts and your peers in an informal setting.  

THE GLOBAL VILLAGE

A dedicated space that will bring governments and operators together, enabling them to meet with each other, fostering a spirit of collaboration across international borders. A safe place for representatives of national critical communications projects around the world to come together to discuss ideas, challenges and best practice. It will facilitate knowledge sharing and benchmarking, while at the same time, enabling organisations to share the great work that they have carried out so far.

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN THE SECTOR

The International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs), are the most prestigious awards in critical communications. Celebrating excellence in the sector, the highly anticipated annual programme recognises the success of products, organisations and individuals that have pushed boundaries and capabilities within the field. The individuals behind these are what fuels the sector, and the ICCAs acknowledge the most influential personalities, with categories including TCCA Young Engineer of the Year and the Phil Kidner Outstanding Contribution to Critical Communications award. Winners will be announced at ICCA ceremony, taking place on Tuesday 17th June 2025 at the Marriott Hotel Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium.

CCW changes location each year, with the previous edition taking place in Dubai. Now back in Europe and with Brussels a major hub for European institutions and international organisations, we anticipate 2025 to be our biggest ever event.
