Let's build some networks!

Developing a strong professional network around core topics of interest is key to both career and scientific advancement. However, in the growing digital age and rapid advancement of research, it can be challenging to establish new connections while growing existing ones.

To facilitate this, the constituent meetings of the Optica Advanced Photonics Congress (IPR, NOMA, Networks, SPPCom, SOLED) have each selected some recent hot topics. As with the research, these topic descriptions are designed to be crosscutting, intersecting with more than just one meeting area.

In this informal networking session, we encourage attendees to join in on a hot topic area connected to their research, but outside their primary meeting area. This creates an opportunity for attendees to hear new perspectives on these growing areas, meet new researchers and share their thoughts. The leadership of each topical meeting will join each hot topic to facilitate discussions, so make sure to drop by and introduce yourself.

 

Join fellow congress attendees at the highlight event of the week.

When registering for the congress, please purchase a ticket to join in the festivities for USD 90.00

The congress concludes with a toast. It's a time to reflect on the week and discuss learnings with fellow attendees.
