The third Laser Marketplace Seminar/Europe will be held this year in conjunction with Optatec in Frankfurt, Germany. Sponsored by Laser Focus World.in conjunction with Strategies Unlimited (Mountain View, CA) and the organizers of Optatec, the seminar provides a unique forum for industry leaders to review key business and technology trends for the laser and optoelectronics industry."We held the seminar for the first time in Europe at Laser 97 in Munich and it was well received," says Steve Anderson, editor in chief of Laser Focus World. "That and the continuing success of the Laser Marketplace Seminar at Photonics West (San Jose, CA) has convinced us we should continue to provide the material to a broader audience," he says.
Presentations based on the Annual Review and Forecast of Laser Markets and additional market research by Strategies Unlimited will include detailed analysis of the worldwide markets for both diode and nondiode lasers. "The seminar provides attendees with much more background and market analysis than is available in the printed material in Laser Focus World. and Optoelectronics Report," explains Anderson. "The opportunity to interact with other attendees and to question the presenters about the markets is a key aspect of the seminar," he says.
Speakers will include David Belforte of Industrial Laser Solutions—who will discuss the market for industrial lasers—as well as Robert Steele of Strategies Unlimited, who will provide overviews of the current and future markets for semiconductor lasers. Other presentations will include a global market overview and a discussion of the markets for medical lasers.
