Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation reschedules and relocates

UPDATE: SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation now to be held 13-18 December 2020 in San Diego, California, USA

Based on current travel restrictions and feedback from the community, the conference and exhibition have been rescheduled and relocated to the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California, USA this December. Although we were not able to find the appropriate configuration of space needed in Japan this year, we are working to bring this meeting to Japan in the future.

SPIE recognizes that in-person conferences are key opportunities to reconnect with colleagues, share ideas, and find new solutions. We look forward to hosting the community in San Diego, and we hope everyone can participate.

We appreciate your patience while we update the website with the revised program schedule, relevant deadlines, and new event information. SPIE will email all participants, exhibitors, and authors with further details about new deadlines, travel information, and hotels as they become available. Please watch your inbox and this site for updates.
