2010 Industrial Physics ForumAIP Industrial Physics Forums

The Industrial Physics Forum (IPF) brings together research managers and decision makers from industry, academia, and government, who seek to keep abreast of research and policy issues affecting the physical sciences community.

Organized by the Corporate Associates of the American Institute of Physics (AIP), the IPF features invited-speaker sessions that complement AIP Member Society meetings. Experts from across the field discuss new applications of physics, product developments, and other opportunities for science in today’s economic environment.

The IPF offers participants opportunities to learn about innovations in the field, to interface with the people driving them, and to strategize about directions for future economic and scientific progress.

2010: Applications of Laser Technology

AIP Industrial Physics Forum: Applications of Laser Technology, October 25-26, 2010, Rochester, NY

In celebration of Laserfest 2010, the 52nd IPF is themed, "Applications of Laser Technology".  It will be held in conjunction with the Frontiers in Optics 2010/Laser Science XXVI (FiO/LS), from October 25-26, in Rochester, NY. Three theme sessions range in topic from biomedical applications to environmental applications to metrology.  A special Frontiers in Physics session addresses the most exciting physics research going on today, regardless of field.  This special symposium is presented by the AIP and OSA Corporate Associates.

Register Now: Register for the IPF only or the entire FiO/LS meeting. Both options are available through the FiO/LS registration site.
