OpTeC Conference Sponsorship Information

About the OpTeC Conference

The Montana State University's Optical Technology Center (OpTeC) will host the 32^nd Annual Conferenceon October 8, 2026. The conference is held in the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering building in Inspiration Hall.The OpTeC conference highlights optical science and engineering, and is where undergraduate and graduate students, research staff, and faculty report on recent developments in optics at Montana State University. Companies will also 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 exhibits from many local, regional, and national businesses.

The Impact of Sponsorship

We greatly appreciate the support of our past sponsors.

The OpTeC Conference is self-supporting, meaning registration fees and sponsorships cover its costs. Last year saw a record number of attendees and sponsors. The increase in sponsorships last year enabled us to keep the student registration fee low and to include a special keynote speaker to celebrate the Center's 30th anniversary.
