The CLEO Hub — The Exhibition Reimagined

Sponsored By: 

The CLEO Hub, sponsored by Thorlabs, was the destination for product information, industry and market-based programs and, of course, networking.

The CLEO Hub offered Technology Showcase demonstrations, Poster Sessions and a theater hosting two Plenary Sessions and other show floor programs. Coffee breaks provided a platform for lively scientific discussion and collegial networking opportunities.

Exhibition

Featuring more than 80 participating companies, The CLEO Hub offered a vibrant and comprehensive show floor with the essential product information you need to advance and facilitate your research.

Show Floor Theater 

A dedicated theater space in the exhibition hosted Plenary Sessions I and II, the Market Focus program and product demonstrations.

Networking

The CLEO Hub offered numerous opportunities for attendees to enhance professional connections. Lounge space for all and a dedicated lounge just for students, provided attendees with a spot to recharge during a busy conference schedule.  

Market Focus

Market Focus investigated the latest trends in the photonics marketplace and provided a forum to discuss new products and emerging technologies and markets.

These presentations dialed-in on the latest in photonics products and services that play an important role in the industry and those that potentially hold future business opportunities. A key feature of the program was a survey of market trends and market sector outlook in select areas.
