Photonex2002 -- the United Kingdoms premier photonics exhibition -- is seeing interest from across the entire industry spectrum as exhibitors prepare to attend this years event in Cardiff. This years show already expects to break all records, for both participating companies and visitor levels.

Exhibitors selling to customers from medical, automotive and aviation sectors through to telecommunications, industrial and photonic component manufacturing will display not only their latest product offerings but, very significantly, actual applications of those products.

There has been a dramatic shift towards applications this year, and applications of optics and photonics across a whole range of industries," explained show founder and exhibition director Laurence Devereux.

This is clear proof of how optics and photonics technology is spreading throughout industry and the key role it has to play in the future -- both for companies and organisations and for people everywhere as their lives are enriched by the end product this technology can deliver".

With bookings already ahead of previous levels, the show looks on target to beat last years event, which itself had 40% more exhibitors and 25% of first-time exhibitors over the year 2000 show. Photonex2002 has moved from its normal venue, Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, to appear as the exhibition content of Photon02 at the Cardiff International Arena, but next year it will return to its Midlands home".

Photon02 has been organised by the UK Consortium for Photonics and Optics and is supported by the Welsh Development Agency, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

The UKCPO and its members is keen to encourage a high quality national event that showcases the UKs opto-electronics capabilities and enables the academic and industrial communities to 'network and exchange ideas. Bringing together high quality conferences with the UKs premier photonic exhibition will provide the ideal opportunity" states UKCPO Chairman Colin Webb.
