Conference SectionIEEE-LEOS Workshop in conjunction with ECOC’06As since 5 years now, there will be a halfdayworkshop on photonic start-ups onSunday September 24, 2006, i.e. Sundaypreceding the 32nd EuropeanConference on Optical Communications(http://www.ecoc2006.org/), to beheld in Cannes on 24 - 28 September2006. This workshop will be organizedby involvement of the IEEELEOS French Chapter (http://leosfr.enst.fr/).The workshop scheduled from 14:00to 18:00, including time for breaks anddebates.“Start-Up in New Optical Segments”Place: “Palais des Festivals et desCongrès de Cannes”Chairs : Thierry Georges, Oxxius andPhilippe Gallion, Ecole NationaleSupérieure des Télécommunications(ENST/CNRS, LTCI) and IEEE/LEOSFrench Chapter.Objective:The objective of this workshop is to discussthe new sectors of development forphotonic start-ups, including diversificationoutside the telecommunicationsegment. The case of both pre-bubbleand recent start-ups will be analyzed.• Is diversification key to survive orto build a new business?• Is diversification not in contradictionwith the focusing required byinvestors?• What are the major diversificationsectors?• And finally, are venture capitalcompanies ready to invest again inphotonic start-ups?These questions will be debated byinvited speakers and attendees.The workshop is targeted at allphotonic engineers and scientistswith entrepreneurial interest andinvestors and venture capital companieswho want to learn more aboutthis sector.Workshop Preliminary Program• Welcome and Introduction• Session 1: Experiences, Reports andLessonsSeveral start-ups from differentcountries will report on theirexperience on formation andfunding in the post bubbleperiod or in the survival acrossthe post bubble period.Coffee Break• Session 2: Panel Discussions andFuture DirectionsPanel discussion between venturecapital companies andyoung start-ups looking aheadfor funding, exchanging mutualexpectations and strategiesWrap up and future directions• ConclusionsNice promenade on “La Croisette” suggestedbefore dinnerConferences through 31 December 2007 For further informationplease see the LEOS conference calendar at www.ieee.org/leosInternational Conference onOptical MEMS (MEMS 2006)Conference Dates:21-Aug-2006 to 24-Aug-2006Huntley Lodge, Big Sky,Montana USAConference URL:www.i-leos.orgConference E-mail:c.bluhm@ieee.orgAsia-Pacific OpticalCommunications Conference(APOC 2006)Conference Dates:3-Sept-2006 to 7-Sept-2006Kimdaejung Convention Center,Gwangju, KoreaConference URL:http://www.apoc2006.orgConference E-mail:dwpark@wow.hongik.ac.kr12th Microoptics Conference(MOC 2006)Conference Dates:10-Sept-2006 to 14-Sept-2006Grand Hilton Seoul, KoreaConference URL:http://www.pof-moc2006.com/Conference E-mail:moc@pof-moc2006.com2006 Numerical Simulation ofOptoelectronic Device (NUSOD 2006)Conference Dates:11-Sept-2006 to 14-Sept-2006Nanyang Executive Centre, NanyangTechnological University, SingaporeConference URL: http://www.nusod.orgConference E-mail: piprek@ieee.orgAvionics, Fiber-Optics and PhotonicsTechnology Conference (AVFOP 2006)Conference Dates:12-Sept-2006 to 14-Sept-2006Sheraton Annapolis Hotel,Annapolis, MD USAConference URL: www.i-LEOS.orgConference E-mail: c.bluhm@ieee.org3rd International Conference onGroup IV Photonics (GFP 2006)Conference Dates:13-Sept-2006 to 15-Sept-2006Crowne Plaza Ottawa Hotel,Ottawa, CanadaConference URL: www.i-LEOS.orgConference E-mail:m.hendrickx@ieee.orgInternational Semiconductor LaserConference (ISLC 2006)Conference Dates:17-Sept-2006 to 21-Sept-2006Waikoloa Beach Marriott,Waikoloa, Hawaii32 IEEE LEOS NEWSLETTER August 2006
