Introducing OPTOmism: Photonics for the Green Revolution
May 18-20, 2009
Santa Clara Convention Center
Santa Clara, California


As the global community increasingly recognizes the importance of energy conservation, thinking “green,” and low carbon footprints, the photonics and optoelectronics industry is gearing up to provide many of the solutions that will enable the “Green Revolution.” From highly efficient solid-state lighting to clean manufacturing using laser processing, and from new low-power display and communications technologies to photovoltaic energy generation, the photonics industry will deliver solutions that enable greater efficiency, smaller carbon footprints, and promote economic growth.

Brought to you by Laser Focus World Magazine and the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association (OIDA), OPTOmism: Photonics for the Green Revolution Conference & Exhibition will bring increased focus to the growing role that photonics is playing in global efforts to “live green.” A broad range of senior speakers from government, industry, and academia will enable attendees to find out about the technology, business, and regulatory aspects of this fast-growing field.

The OPTOMism exhibit floor will feature companies that supply manufacturing equipment, materials, and components to related markets such as solid-state lighting, photovoltaics, and optical sensing.
Who should attend OPTOmism?
Executive management, product development managers, venture capitalists, system developers, design engineers, test and measurement engineers, research managers, researchers/scientists, and sales/marketing professionals. If you have recognized that green, clean, and renewable photonic technologies are good for your business and your career, you should attend OPTOmism. It's your opportunity to connect with peers, industry experts, and influential leaders. The exhibit will be a unique opportunity to meet the world's leading suppliers of "Green" photonics-related technologies and associated equipment.

Who should exhibit at OPTOmism?
Exhibiting at OPTOmism will provide you with an exceptional opportunity to showcase your "Green" optics, photonics and laser technologies, products, and services at the only event focused solely on the role photonics plays in the green revolution. Exhibitors include manufacturers involved in production, assembly, and test of components and systems in advanced lighting, solar/photovoltaics, energy efficient displays, communications, laser-based clean manufacturing technology and related manufacturing and test equipment providers.
