Contact & FAQ

The World of Photonics Congress is an umbrella event that unites several scientific conferences. The conferences are organized by the photonics industry’s leading scientific societies, and they are also responsible for registering participants.

For this reason, you can't buy a congress ticket at the World of Photonics Congress, but have to register with one of the societies to attend the congress. All societies offer the same types of tickets at the same price.

In order to answer this question, a differentiation between speaker and listener is necessary.

Speakers must register at the conference where they have submitted their paper (lecture/poster).

If you have submitted a paper to more than one conference, in most cases it is only required to register for a congress ticket for one conference. However, this must be clarified individually with the scientific societies responsible for the respective conferences.

If you only want to attend the World of Photonics Congress as a listener, you can choose which conference you want to register for. In this case we recommend that you register with the conference or scientific society of which you are a member. For their members, the societies offer a membership discount on the Congress ticket. If you are a member of one of these societies, you should register with them to get this discount.

If you are not a member of one of these associations, you may choose which association you want to order your ticket from. All associations have the same ticket prices for non-members.
