Update from SPIEastro
SPIE appreciates feedback on policy regarding admission of young children to conference activities.
In an effort to accommodate this year’s attendees as best we can, for the remainder of SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2016, the policy is being modified to allow children to accompany their parents into conference activities.
Going forward, this policy will be reassessed by SPIE leadership.
We regret any negative impacts the existing policy has had. In addition to accommodating parents at our meeting, we hope that children might be inspired by this exposure to explore the Universe through photonics.
