“Building on last year's overwhelming success, I think we have outdone ourselves with the breadth and quality of this year’s program,” notes Jennifer O’Bryan, SPIE director of government affairs. “If you want a jump-start on positioning your company or institution to work with the US government, you will want to be at this year’s Industry Summit.”
The event is sponsored by AmeriCom, Edmund Optics, Google, Hamamatsu, Jenoptik, LaCroix Precision Optics, Leonardo Electronics, Optimax, Quartus Engineering, Sydor Optics, Teledyne, Thorlabs, and Toptica Photonics.
