OpTeC Conferences - Optical Technology Center

SAVE-THE-DATE

After an enormously successful in-person 2022 OpTeC Conference sponsored by OptoSigma, City of Bozeman Department of Economic Development, and the MSU Vice-President for Research and Economic Development, we enthusiastically got to work scheduling the next conference. The 2023 OpTeC Conference is set for Thursday, September 28, 2023 in Inspiration Hall, Norm Asbjornson Hall, Montana State University.

About the Conference

The 2022 Optical Technology Center Conference saw:

17 Research Presentations
32 Research Posters
11 Local and National Optics Companies
100 Attendees

The event is an annual optical science and engineering conference where undergraduate and graduate students, research staff, and faculty report on recent developments in optics at Montana State University and companies share new developments in industry. After a day of oral presentations, a highlight of the meeting is always the evening catered poster session that includes many local and regional businesses.
