Social and Networking Event
Photonics West Exhibitor "Breakfast" and Networking Meeting
11 March 2021 • 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM PST icon_live_event.svg
Recording will be available soon
The traditional in-person exhibitor breakfast includes a program and the opportunity to join your peers while enjoying a bite to eat. While we can’t provide the food virtually, the CEC put together a program that allows for brief market and public policy updates followed by breakout rooms to explore and discuss topics of interest to exhibitors. This is an opportunity to provide input and share best practices in moderated discussion groups around virtual marketing, product marketing, lead generation and CRM.

- What is your company doing for marketing?
- What are some best practices you can share?
- Is there anything that SPIE can do to help?
