2026 Science + Industry Showcase

Attendees

FiO LS is where science and applications intersect, and nowhere is this collision more realized than in the Science + Industry Showcase — an exhibition that introduces the technologies of tomorrow built with the research of today.

This is where exhibiting companies are partnered with industry- and advocacy-focused show floor programs, innovative demonstrations, networking events and poster presentations.

Learn about new products, find technical and business solutions and gain the most up-to-date market perspective of your industry. Don’t miss this opportunity to visit companies representing a broad range of the best products and applications in the optics and photonics industry.
