About Optics and Photonics Congresses

OSA created Optics and Photonics Congresses, clusters of new and established topical meetings in order to bring together leaders among communities within optics.

Congresses are designed to retain the collegial settings of OSA topical meetings and provide richer experiences for networking, information sharing and discussion across the disciplines of optical science and engineering. You will also enjoy more special events including plenary sessions, symposia, short courses and joint exhibits.
