Earlier this week, the ICPC Executive Committee held their annual meeting on Valentia Island, Ireland, at the historic Valentia Island Transatlantic Cable Station! This unique venue was chosen to support its bid for UNESCO World Heritage status. Did you know that the first transatlantic telegraph cable began between Valentia Island, Ireland, and Newfoundland, Canada, transforming global communication, reducing transmission time from weeks to mere minutes? This achievement marked a technological revolution that profoundly influenced global commerce. Supporting Valentia Island’s UNESCO World Heritage bid is a way to celebrate this milestone, inspire future generations to value and advance our shared heritage. After the EC meeting, committee members will also participate in the exclusive Valentia Island Subsea Cable Symposium from 10-12 October. Hosted by the Valentia Transatlantic Cable Foundation, this inaugural symposium aims to unite stakeholders from both public and private sectors to discuss subsea cable security and resilience from diverse perspectives. Learn more about the symposium here: https://lnkd.in/g-ydpHti ICPC Chair Graham Evans said ‘The International Cable Protection Committee is the world’s leading organisation promoting submarine cable protection and resilience. We are proud to support this important initiative to convene governments, the global submarine cable industry, and academics to explore the topic of the resilience of communications beneath the oceans. The universal importance of those first pioneering steps in transatlantic telegraphic communications cannot be understated, and it has led to the modern interconnected world that we live in today.  It is particularly fitting that the symposium will be held at the location where the first transatlantic cable landed in Valentia Island.’

Earlier this week, ICPC was thrilled to be part of SubOptic Foundation’s newly formed WAVE event held in the iconic BT Tower in London! We are very proud to support the next generation of subsea career professionals and look forward to future sessions.
