Gather with critical decision makers 27 September 2023 in Washington, DC, for SPIE Photonics Industry Summit. This one-day forum focused on the optics and photonics industry as an essential enabler of emerging technology. The full-day program will host U.S. government leaders discussing federal policy and funding important to the optics and photonics industry with an audience of more than 150 company representatives. Our collective goal in meeting is to raise the profile of the optics and photonics industry, while learning more about the priorities of the U.S. government in this technology space.

Photonics innovation enables new opportunities for industry

The value of light-enabled products and services is estimated to be between $7 trillion and $10 trillion annually, which means the science and application of light—known as photonics—represents roughly 11% of the world’s economy.
Read about this statistic and more in the SPIE Optics & Photonics 2022 Industry Report.
