Now planning for its 3rd year since inception, the Summit and Expo is the premier photonics-focused event in Colorado. This year, the event planners will endeavor to include more speakers, exhibitors, and attendees from the Rocky Mountain region (NM, UT, WY). This event is industry-focused and provides a forum for a commercial exhibition as well as technical sessions focused on specific industries such as aerospace, semiconductor, and life science. The commercial exhibition features approximately 30-40 exhibiting companies focused on photonics technologies and services, including Infleqtion.
Technical sessions focus on technologies (lasers, sensors, spectrometers) and industry applications for photonics technologies. CPIA hosts a plenary session/lunch at the start of the event and a happy hour at the end of the day. The event is held in Westminster a suburb of the Denver metropolitan area which is easily accessible to the major hubs for photonics companies around the state. Attendance at this event is normally 300-400.
