Jessica DeGroote Nelson, Director of Technology and Strategy at Optimax, is the keynote speaker at this conference. Optimax is not exhibiting.

The primary purpose of Tech Days 2020 ‘virtual’ meeting will be to review SBIR Phase 1 accomplishments in advance of Phase 2 proposal reviews. The secondary purpose is to review on-going SBIR Phase 2 and other technology development studies, e.g. ROSES SAT, SMTP, etc. Based on feedback from the multiple virtual and on-line meetings which we have all attended, we are going to try to keep Tech Days to a single day – starting at 10 am (CDT) on Tuesday February 9 and ending at 4 pm (CDT). We will add a second day if necessary.

The leading global event for the photonics and laser industries.

This three-day event includes a new technical program, invited industry talks, panel discussion, a student Optical Design Challenge, courses, headset demonstrations, and the opportunity to network with leading companies and thought leaders.

SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing 2020 was a unique opportunity, and we look forward to when we can gather again in 2021. The exchange of information is more important than ever, and we invite authors to share emerging research and technology advances in sensors, infrared technology, laser systems, spectral imaging, radar, LIDAR, AI/machine learning, and more. Come to learn from experts working on materials, components, systems, and analytics for defense, security, and commercial applications. The call for papers opens in July.
