5217 expert visitors from more than 30 countries, well over 500 exhibitors, roughly 50% of whom come from outside of Germany, and more than 190,000 square feet of overall occupied floor space – these are the impressive results with which the 10th OPTATEC closed at the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre in June 2010. And thus the international trade fair for future optical technologies, components, systems and manufacturing not only underscored its positioning as a leading industry event, but rather marked an economic turning point and personified the upward trend as well. In particular in the field of optical technologies, development is advancing rapidly and is opening up opportunities for a multiplicity of applications on an unprecedented scale – both now and in the future. Without a doubt, optical technologies play a key role in most energy, medical, manufacturing and optics processes – and OPTATEC provides these developments with an exceptionally well established, internationally esteemed forum.
World-Class Information and Up-to-the-Minute Offerings
The unique mix of a nomenclature which coincides with actual requirements, a practical industry orientation and an internationally recognised information, communication and procurement platform for hardware and software for the application of optical technologies has characterised OPTATEC’s success story for more than 20 years. Based on time-tested biennial event scheduling, renowned market leaders from all over the world, as well as emergent young companies from the optics industry, present their products along with a sparkling display of new products and innovations which are introduced to the public, or even celebrate world premieres at OPTATEC.
Top Quality Supplementary Programme Rounds Out OPTATEC’s Spectrum of Offerings
A first rate supplementary programme provides OPTATEC exhibitors and visitors with valuable, additional benefits. Amongst others these include the EOS symposium, the “Analysts’ Conference” under the direction of SPECTARIS and the time tested exhibitor forum, which offers visitors in-depth insights into new products and technologies. In 2010, more than 30 practically oriented expert presentations were held at the forum by OPTATEC exhibitors. The “CEO Round Table” is also held at the exhibitor forum, which in the meantime has become a tradition and is always followed with great interest. The “Training & Science” theme park, offered for the first time in 2010, has also been very well received. Corresponding supplementary events are already in the planning for 2012.
Participate with your company in the enormous future potential and the current upsurge offered by the optical technologies as an exhibitor or an expert visitor at the 11th OPTATEC in Frankfurt – the future of industrial optics awaits you!
