Celebrating 25 years of Quality Exhibitions, Conferences & Workshops 2016: The 25th Photonex event is a notable milestone and we are proud to be working with exhibitors, both companies and individuals, who have exhibited at every single event since inception. The first event was held at Leeds University arranged in association with the Applied Optics Group of the IOP with whom we are still associated, now renamed to the IOP Optical Group. Connections with business and academic networks has been key for the development of Photonex and in our quest to keep abreast and ahead of technology we network at the highest levels. This has led to the development of our co-located events and now quality brands in their own right. We arrange our event knowing that we have a key role to play when it comes to your customer contact strategy. OUR MARKETING CAMPAIGN... Photonex receives excellent coverage in the trade press, in social media and through connections with key organisations for photonics and light technologies in the UK and across Europe. Using databases built up over many years, our direct marketing keeps people well informed about the Photonex Exhibition and colocated high-level Enlighten Conference.
