CPIA is Planning for Photonics West 2016

Reserve Space Before March 27 to Exhibit in the Colorado Cluster

 PLAN NOW to join other Colorado companies with booth space in the cluster for the February 13-18 2016 Photonics West trade show, receive a 10% discount on your exhibit space, benefit from a great location and be included in our cluster ad in the Exhibit Guide. If you want to attend Photonics West and be in the Colorado Cluster next year, we need hear from you no later than March 27 so we can secure space for every member company wanting to participate. Due to construction in the exhibit hall, there will likely be no late registrations or additions to cluster space after this date. For more information contact CPIA.
