Power Lunch

Tuesday, 8 May,  12.45-13.45

Attend the Power Lunch and participate in high-level discussions with academic and industry leaders who will provide insight on their success.  Photonics is an enabling technology across nearly all industries and research disciplines.  Join these leaders to discuss photonics and its many applications.  An interactive question and answer period at each table will follow a brief discussion of success factors by the table hosts.

Each of the ten industry leaders will hosts a table, so space is limited. Box lunch included. Regular tickets are $40 each and advance registration is required. Purchase your tickets in advance as this event will sell out!

Special Student Offer – Student seats at $20 on a first come, first served basis. Seating is limited for student members of the sponsoring societies of the conference (APS, IEEE Photonics Society and OSA) wishing to take part in the Power Lunch program. The $20 tickets are available to students registered for the conference.
