As part of the Exhibit Hall and related activities, CLEO: 2013 will be featuring a special program on technology transfer. The sessions will include a number of displays and talks related to the topic. One segment of the program will include a designated area for organizations to showcase their ideas that are ready to be transitioned to the commercial sector. In addition, there will be a number of talks related to technology transfer.

Several talks will center around advice and lessons learned for the technology transfer process. In particular, two tutorials will cover “Technology Transfer 101: Technology Licensing and Tech Startups,” given by Eugene Cochran and Anis Rahman. Additionally, a keynote speech will be presented by Prof. Robert Norwood of University of Arizona. Prof. Norwood will give a personal account of his experiences with a photonics startup company and the inherent challenges and lessons learned.

This technology transfer session is a good example of how CLEO goes beyond being a pure science conference. This looks like a great opportunity to learn about the ins and outs of technology transfer from some people with extensive first-hand experience. It should be very informative for entrepreneurs or those who are just interested on how technology can move from ideas to products. Be sure to check out the exhibits June 11-13 and the talks on Thursday, June 13, all in the CLEO Exhibit Hall Session Area.
