Laser markets show resistance to COVID-19

Feb. 5, 2021
The Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar will explore the impact of COVID-19 on photonics businesses, with a great lineup of speakers on the agenda.

I hope you will join us at Laser Focus Worlds 33rd Annual Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar. Presented in cooperation with SPIE, the seminar is the industry’s only event that delivers comprehensive analysis of the global market for lasers. For the last 32 years, Laser Focus Worlds Annual Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar has been recognized as the pre-eminent industry event for networking with senior-level executives, technology directors, and business managers from technology companies around the world. Unlike every other year, however, where the event was somewhat exclusive with limited seating available, this year, thanks to going digital, the event will be more accessible and affordable than ever before.

Here’s a rundown of the speaker lineup we put together for the event, which runs from 11 am to 3 pm (EST) on March 4th and 5th:

  • Chuck Mattera, CEO, II-VI Incorporated: Enabling Fast-growing Markets with Photonics Materials and Devices
  • Laser Analyst Allen Nogee: Global Laser Market Insights and Forecasts from Laser Focus World Market Research
  • Bo Gu, Ph.D., Bos Photonics: China’s Changing Laser Markets: The New Globalization Model, Uncertainties, and Challenges
