LEOS 2006 is the 19th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society. This year the conference will be held from 29 October to 2 November in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This conference has established itself as an important forum for the latest developments in lasers and electro-optic technologies. With a strong core of invited talks given by preeminent speakers from around the globe, LEOS 2006 will provide an ideal platform to learn about new fields and understand technological trends. The conference includes short courses, invited papers, topical symposia and contributed technical papers addressing a broad spectrum of topics of interest to LEOS members and the lasers and electro-optics community. The program subcommittees are seeking papers that show novel and innovative work in the topic areas listed.

Both students and young researchers should benefit from the 2nd annual “Careers in Research” Forum. This forum, to be held on 29 October, promotes career awareness in photonics and related fields.

To recognize outstanding student contributions, a Best Student Paper Award will be selected at the Conference. To further encourage students to participate in the conference, non-member students will be able to register for a free one year IEEE/LEOS student membership after paying the non-member student registration fee.

As an additional service for all LEOS members, the cost of the short courses will be waived at this year's annual meeting, there will be a $20.00 charge for each set of short course notes.
