AIDO, an expert technology & innovation centre within the area of optics applied to industry since 1988, will hold the event Photonics Valencia 2008 which will happen next November 26 and 27. The conference, which will take place on the 3rd floor of Valencia’s Convention and Exhibition Centre, joins two of the most important international industrial events that AIDO has been hosting in the last five years: the Laser Material Processing Workshop and the International Machine Vision Forum.

This year, with a new name and image, the event hopes to set an important date on the calendar of those industries that want to see the latest technologies applied in their production systems with the aim of minimizing costs and optimizing the resources using applied photonics. Another one of the event’s key nuances is that it will include training sessions that will be run parallel to the laser technology, optics engineering and machine vision sessions.

All in all, this meeting hopes to strengthen Valencia’s international position as the birthplace of industrial optics technology promoted with the help of AIDO. The event, will take place within the framework of the Spanish Technologic Platform Fotónica 21 whose current vice-president is aido’s R+D director, Santiago Simón.
