An All-Virtual Format in 2021
OFC, the premier event in telecom and data center optics, will be held in an all-virtual format Sunday, 06 June to Friday, 11 June 2021.
About the Virtual Technical Conference
The new format accommodates speakers and attendees across the globe with content presented live online and recorded for on-demand viewing. Technical sessions will be scheduled throughout the day to accommodate live participation from many geographic regions.
The virtual format impacts how presentations are delivered, not what is presented. The breadth and depth of the technical conference will remain intact with all sessions presented virtually.
What Will Be Presented Virtually?
• All technical sessions (including invited and tutorial speakers and contributed oral and poster presentations)
• Plenary Session, Workshops, Symposia and Special Sessions
• Half-day Short Courses that enhance your knowledge on important topics (additional registration fee)
• OFC Demo Zone
