IPCA Partners with OIDA in Promoting OPTOmism

OPTOmism is the premier event that explores green opportunities in optoelectronics and addresses the growing and critical role of optics and photonics in global efforts to “live green.” 

Green Photonics™ not only includes solar energy and high efficiency solid state lighting, but also energy management, smart buildings, metrology, and green processes. Photonic sensors support better utilization of both renewable and non-renewable resources. As we transition to an information-driven society, photonics will also play a key role in green IT, communications, and information display. 

OPTOmism kicks off with the Executive and Investor Forum, a day-long intense look at the business of green photonics. The forum focuses on important strategic considerations of interest to executives and investors in the global environment. Senior executives and respected leaders from over 30 firms such as Vinod Khosla, Founder of Khosla Ventures, Chuck Swoboda, President, CEO and Chairman of Cree, and Greg Kats, Managing Director of Good Energies bring their knowledge and expertise to panel discussions addressing exciting prospects in the current market. 

A two-day OPTOmism Technical Conference follows, and includes a broad range of senior technical leaders from industry, government, and academia including two Nobel laureates, Dr. Steven Chu, U.S. Secretary of Energy, and Arno Penzias of New Enterprise Associates. Speakers will address the technology, business, and regulatory aspects of this fast-growing and influential field. No other event brings together such a diverse group of topics and people. The conference is organized along three tracks: solar, SSL and display, and sensing and spectroscopy.

This unique event tackles the business and technical aspects of photonics in the rapidly emerging green market; OPTOmism is a cutting-edge conference not to be missed.
