Pacific International Conference on Applications of Lasers and Optics (PICALO) focuses on the growth and application of lasers and optics in the Pacific region. PICALO brings together researchers, engineers, equipment suppliers and industry personnel to hear the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications and to share knowledge, experiences and visions. PICALO features sessions on Laser Materials Processing and Laser Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication as well as the International Enterprise Summit. Submit your abstract and join the conference that predicts where the future of laser technology leads!
Who Should Attend?
Anyone interested in lasers and materials processing from the basic understanding of the interaction between a laser beam and a material to those interested in how a process can be integrated and optimized for an application. The organizing committee's goal for PICALO is to bring both academic and industry people together who may benefit from laser technology. This includes researchers and end-users as well as engineers and technicians engaged in developing laser technology. The conference will provide a face-to-face platform for scholars, experts, and entrepreneurs worldwide as well as management personnel, technicians, and end-users in China, especially in Wuhan. At the same time, PICALO will demonstrate the development and achievements in the field of laser processing in recent years and thus bridge China's companies and enterprise to the world.

Featured at PICALO 2010
Laser Materials Processing Conference
The Laser Materials Processing Conference features the latest developments across the world in laser cutting, machining, surface modification, welding, additive manufacturing, laser modeling and simulation, drilling and forming, and industrial applications. Invited speakers from leading research groups and companies worldwide will present their recent findings and future prospects.
Laser Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication Conference
The Laser Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication Conference is a global forum for engineers and scientists from a variety of industry segments and institutes to meet and discuss the use of laser micro, nano and ultrafast fabrication and diagnosis as a key technology for various applications. Attendees will find innovative ideas and solutions for laser micro, nano and ultrafast fabrication in opto- and microelectronics, electronics, microsystems, material processing and biomedical industries.
International Enterprise Summit
Executives from the Chinese laser industry and leading world-class laser, optics and system integration companies will come together to discuss the impact of global financial crisis on the laser industry and how to break through the poor economic environment. CEOs of laser companies in Wuhan's Optical Valley will join this summit.
