MPQA is hosting its Q3 Networking Social in conjunction with The Montana State University’s Optical Technology Center (OpTeC) again as they host their 32nd annual OpTeC Conference on October 8, 2026.
The OpTeC conference highlights optical science and engineering and is where undergraduate and graduate students, research staff, and faculty report on recent developments in optics at Montana State University. Companies will also share new developments in industry. After a day of oral presentations, a highlight of the meeting is always the evening’s MPQA’s Networking Social with a catered poster session that includes many local and regional businesses. Please join us in celebrating optics and photonics research at MSU.
