Photonics
North is fast approaching and we hope that you will be able
to attend the technical conference and the exhibition. Photonics
North delivers a professionally, SPIE-run conference at
our doorstep without the need for international travel.
Here you can meet local suppliers, customers and potential
partners. At last year’s event, in Ottawa there were
over 1,500 attendees and 125 exhibitors. This year’s
technical session is focused on biophotonics and nanophotonics.

There
are several short courses on offer which are a great opportunity
to give your staff specialized training in photonics and
optics.
