Connecting Advanced
Technologies with Global Demand
Industry event guide · Upcoming
CLEO, the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, connects laser science, optical research and applied photonics. Its peer-reviewed technical program makes it particularly relevant to research-led companies and engineering teams translating optical discoveries into practical devices and systems.
The 2027 technical conference is scheduled for 2–7 May at the Long Beach Convention Center; the exhibition is scheduled for 4–5 May. Check the official program for the exact sessions or exhibition activities you intend to attend.\n\nThe conference covers laser and electro-optic research from foundational science to applications, including quantum computing and advanced imaging. Technical discussions can help suppliers understand emerging requirements and identify where a manufacturing, measurement or component capability supports a research program. It is useful to separate near-term engineering requirements from exploratory research when assessing commercial relevance.
Laser scientists, optical engineers, university and laboratory researchers, photonic device developers, instrumentation suppliers and commercialization teams working with research-intensive optical technology.
Research-oriented exhibitors should make their technical capability easy to evaluate: explain the experimental or integration problem, identify the relevant application and provide evidence suitable for an engineering audience. Campaigns around CLEO can build targeted visibility, but research interest should not be presented as a confirmed purchase intention.
Reach relevant international technology buyers before, during and after the event with targeted B2B marketing campaigns.
