Messe München International has moved up the dates of LASER World
of PHOTONICS by one month. As a result, the world’s largest
industry gathering for optical technologies is being held at the Messe
München trade-fair center from May 13 – 16, 2013. The
accompanying World of Photonics Congress, Europe’s largest
congress for photonics, is being held in the neighboring International
Congress Center München (ICM) from May 12 – 16, 2013.
Norbert Bargmann, Deputy CEO of Messe München GmbH, explains:
“Schedule changes on the international trade-fair scene have
forced Messe München to make some changes to its own event
schedule for 2013. These changes also affect LASER World of PHOTONICS
2013, which will now take place in May, just as it did in 2011. We are
convinced that this will give the fair some very attractive dates
during its anniversary year.”
LASER World of PHOTONICS was the world’s very first trade fair
for the optical technologies sector, and it is celebrating its 40-year
anniversary in May 2013.
When it was last held in 2011, more than 1,100 companies from 38
countries exhibited at the fair. A total of 27,490 visitors from 80
countries attended.
As one of the most important industries of the future, the photonics
industry stands for the successful combination of science and industry.
Every two years, the International Trade Fair for Optical Technologies
and the World of Photonics Congress bring together the world’s
leading personalities in the photonics industry.
The 2013 fair will revolve around the focus topics of Lasers and Laser
Systems for Production Engineering, Biophotonics and Medical Technology
and Illumination and Energy. The World of Photonics Congress also deals
with these topics in a series of conferences. As part of the congress,
once again application panels that focus on solution approaches based
on optical technologies will be held in the photonics forums in the
exhibition halls.
