Learn, Connect, and Explore the Future of Optics & Photonics

Join us in Gothenburg for a day of expert presentations, customer experiences, and networking focused on optical simulation, photonics, and AI-driven engineering.

Hear from EDRMedeso’s optics specialists, guest speakers, and industry users as they share practical insights, real-world applications, and emerging technologies shaping the future of optical and photonic product development.

The event will showcase technologies from the Ansys Optics portfolio, including Zemax OpticStudio for optical system design, Lumerical for photonic devices and integrated photonics, and Speos for illumination analysis and light simulation. You’ll also gain insight into recent product developments, best practices, and opportunities to accelerate innovation through simulation.

Enjoy a day of learning, discussion, and networking with fellow engineers, researchers, and technology leaders. Breakfast, lunch, coffee, and refreshments are provided free of charge. Seats are limited, so register early to secure your place.
