"I think this was one of the best ICALEO® meetings I have attended... from Coherent's perspective the opportunity to network and listen to our customers, colleagues and researchers in materials processing was very worthwhile, the organization was impeccable and it was clearly evident that you put a great deal of thought and effort into it. You can certainly count on us for next year."
Paul Crosby, Coherent, Inc.
"ICALEO® was a very successful conference for SPI. The vendor reception created more hot leads than a booth at one of the big trade shows, and the networking during the conference was abundant and fruitful!"
Silke Pflueger, SPI
"Probably the best conference for LPL Systems that we have attended!"
Richard Press, LPL Systems, Inc.
