The IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC), the flagship meeting of the IEEE Photonics Society will be held from 10-14 November 2024 in Rome, Italy. The IEEE Photonics Conference’s topics cover a broad scope of technical areas within the photonics community and the interests of our members. The conference sessions include Plenary Sessions, Invited Talks, Panel Discussions, Tutorial Sessions, the Photonics Industry Focus, as well as volunteer organized Special Symposia. The format of the symposia allows organizers a more intimate environment and flexibility to focus in great details on emerging fields and to pilot new ideas on how the conference is run.
