font-family: Arial; ">The MIT Center for Integrated Photonic Systems (CIPS) and OSA present an exciting new meeting on the rapidly expanding roles of optics and photonics in energy generation and conservation. A major objective of the meeting is to provide an interactive forum to generate discussion among researchers and practitioners across the energy value chain. Three key energy topics will be covered–solar, solid state lighting, and energy-source development and efficiency. The meeting will also include a focus on optical systems and design. The meeting will showcase the development and deployment of these energy technologies including barriers and opportunities to accelerate the impact of optics and photonics in this growing field. The MIT Energy Initiative, a major campus-wide program, is a co-sponsor of the meeting.</span></font></p><div align="center" style="text-align: center; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; "><hr align="center" width="100%" color="#993333" noshade="" size="2"></span></font></div><p><font face="Arial" color="#3366cc" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); font-family: Arial; ">Attend Optics and Photonics for Advanced Energy Technology for the latest optics and photonics research in alternative energy, including:</span></font></p><p><strong><b><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Progressive Technical Program</span></font></b></strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "> – Top researchers and technologists present <a title="blocked::http://emessaging.vertexcommunication.com/ct/4571926:2018581824:m:1:21903862:787EA57393614BC997050C7483F2F13E" href="http://emessaging.vertexcommunication.com/ct/4571926:2018581824:m:1:21903862:787EA57393614BC997050C7483F2F13E" target="_blank">25 invited presentations</a> and 33 technical presentations (including 2 poster sessions).</span></font></p><p><strong><b><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "><a title="blocked::http://emessaging.vertexcommunication.com/ct/4571926:2018581824:m:1:21903862:787EA57393614BC997050C7483F2F13E" href="http://emessaging.vertexcommunication.com/ct/4571926:2018581824:m:1:21903862:787EA57393614BC997050C7483F2F13E" target="_blank">Stimulating Plenary Sessions</a> </span></font></b></strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">– John M.
