Conference Chair Welcome Message
Welcome to ASIA-OPTICS2026!
Building on the remarkable success of its inaugural edition, the 2nd World Congress and Expo on Optics, Photonics and Laser Technology returns as a premier international platform dedicated to advancing innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange across optics, photonics, and laser technologies. The conference will take place on November 26–28, 2026, in Seoul, South Korea.
The first edition received an outstanding response from global researchers, academicians, industry professionals, startups, and technology leaders, featuring high-impact scientific discussions, strong industrial participation, and valuable networking opportunities. Inspired by this success, ASIA-OPTICS2026 is set to further expand its global reach and enhance its technical excellence in its second edition.
This edition is thoughtfully designed to spotlight exhibitors from startups and fast-growing companies, while offering a dynamic platform for keynote speakers and young researchers from universities, research laboratories, and industry to present cutting-edge advancements and forward-looking ideas.
With a strong foundation, a successful first edition, and a globally attractive venue, ASIA-OPTICS2026 promises to be a landmark event for professionals shaping the future of optics, photonics, and laser technology
Connect, collaborate, and innovate with us at ASIA-OPTICS2026 in Seoul, South Korea.
