The Optics and Photonics Industry Snapshot and Outreach Day is designed to bring together people from optics and light-related industries in Michigan, the academic community, students and the general public. The evening’s activities are intended to foster discussion, inspiration and building relationships within the region. This event is made possible by the Ann Arbor Section of the Optical Society of America (AAOSA), the Optics Society at the University of Michigan (OSUM) and the Michigan Photonics Cluster (Mi-Light). The keynote address is given by Prof. James C. Wyant. This year we highlight the history of optics in Michigan and the treasure chest of photonics-related industries, facilities and human resource in the local area and ways to enhance public understanding of science. Join us for a great evening of networking, talk, outreach and light refreshment.
