Co-hosted by BEST Center and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), the 2023 Annual Institute is the premier event to build on your knowledge and practice of high-performance building operations. This year's theme is Advancing Building Decarbonization: Policies, Technologies, and Workforce Education. 

There will be many presentations and small roundtable discussions looking at the worlds of policy, research, industry, and education in order to:

1. Develop strategies for reducing our building operations carbon footprint while maintaining occupant comfort and health
2. Instruct and improve the technician workforce to support decarbonization and energy conservation goals.

Discover the latest trends, technical advancements, and best practices in photonics. 

Photonics Media will host its third annual Photonics Spectra Conference Jan. 9-12. The virtual event will comprise four technology tracks featuring webinars presented by experts in Lasers, Optics, Test and Measurement, and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).

The program features 60 industry-leading speakers who will present on a wide range of topics, including the latest developments in materials processing, spaceborne optical platforms, freeform optics, beam profiling, optical metrology, lasers for quantum computing, and the fast-expanding applications driving demand for PIC technology.
