Make a prerecorded presentation and publish your research in the Photonics West Digital Forum
Here's why submitting a presentation to the digital forum puts a spotlight on your work:
Make sure that your research gets timely publication in the SPIE Digital Library.
*SPIE partners with relevant scientific databases to ensure visibility for your research, including Astrophysical Data System (ADS), Ei Compendex, CrossRef, Google Scholar, Inspec, Scopus, and Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index.

All contributed and invited oral presentations and poster presentations are not scheduled for a specific time and will be published on the first day of the Digital Forum and made available for on-demand viewing and comment during the period of the SPIE Digital Forum.
For all paid registrants, there will be two weeks of access to all the technical content, during the Digital Forum week and the week following. Paid conference registrants will have the opportunity to select their one proceedings volume and will then have ongoing access to it after the digital forum.
Please monitor your general conference's Slack channel for questions.
Since there will be no travel necessary for the Digital Forum, we are instead offering conference registration fee waivers. Information regarding this program can be found on the newly crafted Student Author conference support page. If you have further questions, please contact MemberSupport@spie.org
