We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the 2025 Photonics North Conference that will take place at the Rogers Centre in Ottawa (Canada) from May 20 to 22, 2025.

This internationally recognized event aims to reinforce the connections between theory and application and build stronger ties between university research and industry needs. We welcome leading researchers to share their latest findings, as well as industry exhibitors to present their products and services. We are also delighted to be joined by students who have chosen photonics as a career path: Photonics North is a great opportunity to network with key players in the community.

2025 has been declared the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology by the United Nations. In line with this celebration, we have given the 2025 Photonics North conference a theme: Quantum Research and Applications. While ample space will be devoted to this theme via dedicated Plenary and Tutorial talks, the conference will maintain its traditional structure, with topical sessions covering all relevant aspects of modern photonics.

Similar to last year, we will also be hosting industry-related events, creating many opportunities for companies to showcase their products and technologies; network with other business leaders; meet end users, as well as identify and talk to potential employees.

To conclude, we wish to convey our gratitude to Dr Jinyang Liang and Dr Lora Ramunno, for their outstanding contribution to Photonics North 2025 as Program Co-Chairs. We would also like to sincerely thank our Session Chairs, partners, supporters, and numerous volunteers; without them, the conference would simply not be possible.

Looking forward to seeing you in Ottawa!
