This year’s conference will offer a diverse choice of programmes dedicated to the hottest technologies of the moment. The first track to be announced is on 'High Power Diode Lasers & Systems'. This programme has been expanded following the success of last year’s event and will now take place over two days. As well as providing industry-leading speakers, the organisers and sponsors would welcome contributions from visitors who may review the programmes and announcements on the web site. Current sponsors of the technical programme include the Institute of Physics Optical Group, ESP KTN, UKIVA and the Scottish Chapter of the IEEE Photonics Society. More programmes together with details of the talks and invited speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Running in parallel will be a showcase of the very latest vacuum and related technologies and innovations for applications in science and industry. Vacuum Expo 2011 will provide an unequalled business environment for the effective and meaningful transfer of information and knowledge within the field of vacuum, thin film and nanoscale technologies.

Potential visitors and contributors to the scientific programme are encouraged to visit the Photonex website (www.photonex.org) and register their interest today to receive regular electronic newsletters detailing the up to date additions to the agenda. With over 100 exhibiting companies expected in Coventry, the 2011 events are already on the way to success.
