About this conference
The annual CREOL Industrial Affiliates Symposium serves as a crucial platform fostering collaboration among academia, industry, and government within the fields of optics and photonics. Attendees, including students and faculty, can expect a comprehensive program designed to preview future trends and advancements. The event features a Spring Optics and Photonics Career Fair, guided lab tours, presentations from distinguished speakers, and a dedicated tech conference. The tech conference covers key areas such as biomedical photonics, industry updates from leading organizations like Optica and SPIE, student poster sessions, and in-depth discussions on emerging quantum technology initiatives, including the Florida Alliance for Quantum Technology (FAQT) and UCF's Quantum Leap Initiative. Prominent speakers from entities like the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, Florida Department of Commerce, IBM Quantum, and IonQ will contribute their expertise.
