Along with the comprehensive programme, the conference includes two workshops:

UK capabilities in photonics (& new allied technologies): current status, demands and drivers, future prospects, and opportunities for growth – which will review the current status of UK capabilities in photonics to consider present societal demands and business drivers, and to examine future prospects for photonic technologies and new opportunities for short, medium, and long-term growth.

UKRI Hubs & Programme Grants: recent progress in optical communications, photonic technologies, quantum communications and quantum computing – bringing together world-leading researchers to exchange the latest results, ideas and to explore new opportunities for cross-fertilisation and co-working across these research fields.
