Co-Conference Chairs, Dr Michael Lebby and Dr. David Cheskis reflect on the 9th PIC International Conference.
We have just completed the 9th annual PIC International Conference, and again like in the spring of 2023, this conference not only surpassed everybody's expectations, but thrilled us with live presentations, challenging discussions and questions, exhilarating and deep though panels for PICs, excellent exhibits, first class personal and B2B networking, and finally great lunches and dinners.
Explore 2024We have just completed the 8th annual PIC International Conference, and again like in the summer of 2022, this conference not only surpassed everybody's expectations, but thrilled us with live presentations, audience, panels, exciting Q&A, the best of the best in personal networking, and finally completely full exhibit. The technology updates and progress were again exciting and generated lots of audience questions for the speakers. Speaker presentations were shortened to 15mins to allow the full 2 days of conference programing to contain a broad and wide cross-section of the PIC industry. The whole value chain for the PIC industry was represented that ranged from wafers to epitaxial growth, devices, packaging, modules, testing, and systems, to social media. It is now very clear that PIC International is the conference to attend if your interest is Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) not only in optical networking and internet, but other market verticals such as automotive, sensing, medical, displays, instruments, agriculture etc.
Explore 2023An extremely exciting 7th Photonic Integrated Circuits International Conference with incredible live participation exceeded everyones expectations.
Co-Conference Chairs, Dr Michael Lebby and Dr. David Cheskis reflect on the 7th PIC International Conference that not only was well attended, but is now recognized as the core conference for PICs globally.
We have just finished the 7th annual PIC International Conference, and again like in 2021, it not only surpassed everybody's expectations, but thrilled us with live presentations, live audience, live panels, live Q&A, live networking, and a completely full exhibit.

Explore 2022Co-Conference Chairs, Dr Michael Lebby and Dr. David Cheskis reflect on the 6th PIC International Conference that not only was well attended, but became the core conference for PICs globally.
We have just finished the 6th annual PIC International Conference, and again like in 2019 and 2020, it not only surpassed everybody's expectations, but thrilled us with live presentations, live audience, live panels, live Q&A and incredible technology updates and progress. The whole value chain was represented that ranged from wafers to epitaxial growth, devices, packaging, modules and systems, to social media that PIC International is the conference to attend if your interest is Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).
Explore 2021Building on the success of its predecessors, the fourth Photonic Integrated Circuits International Conference pinpointed the most promising opportunities for this industry.
Co-Conference Chairs, Dr Michael Lebby and Dr. Bill Ring both reflect on the fourth PIC International Conference: "We have just finished the 4th annual PIC International Conference, and again like in 2018, it surpassed everybody's expectations, but what's more, folks are now recognizing throughout the value chain, from wafers to epitaxial growth, devices, packaging, modules and systems, to social media that PIC International is the conference to attend if your interest is Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). We again filled all of our seats, and like last year folks from CS International and Sensor Solutions International attended the PIC sessions. Our annual PIC awards generated nearly 10,000 online votes and the winners in 6 categories were announced at the end of Day 1 by the European trade association EPIC. In my humble opinion, this was the best PIC International event to date, and achieved not only world class speakers, world class presentations, but also world class networking during the exhibit hours, breaks, and meal events."

Conference Chair, Dr Michael Lebby reflects on the third PIC International Conference: "We have just finished the 3rd annual PIC International Conference, and again like in 2017, it surpassed everybody's expectations, not only from the organiser’s perspective, but from the attendees, and my perspective as chairman of the conference. Attendance was full – yes maximum allotted seats, and at times, folks from CS International and HES International attended the PIC sessions. Our annual PIC awards generated 1000’s of online votes and the winners in 7 categories were announced at the end of Day 1. Like last year, these are PIC industry awards, voted by the PIC industry."
Explore 2018Brussels proves a great venue as more than 550 attend the co-located PIC International, CS International and IoT International Conferences.
Conference Chair, Michael Lebby gives his thoughts on the 2017 PIC conference: "This was the 2nd annual PIC International Conference, and again like in 2016, it surpassed everybody's expectations, not only from the organiser’s perspective, but from the attendees, and my perspective as chairman of the conference. We had for the first time the annual PIC awards which were awarded in six categories at the end of Day 1. With over 50 nominations and 6,000 votes, the industry decided their winners."
Explore 2017Brussels proves a great venue as more than 420 flock to the co-located PIC International and CS International Conference.
Conference Chair, Michael Lebby gives his thoughts on the conference: "This was the first PIC International Conference, and it surpassed everybody's expectations, not only from the organisers perspective, but from the attendees, and my perspective as chairman of the conference. Over 200 delegates attended two days of jammed packed sessions on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that spanned the whole value chain from wafers/materials, to devices, to modules, to systems, and finally to service providers, and in particular datacenters. With standing room only, and lots of extra seats brought to the conference room on the first morning, the atmosphere was at times electric. PIC themes addressed the incumbent technology InP, and thoroughly addressed challenges for new competition such as silicon photonics and polymer photonics. Global sized service providers and optical network system companies gave very clear expectations of the need for PIC based technologies, while transceiver and module manufacturers, both international as well as start-ups presented the latest results in a field that is one of the most dynamic in the industry."
