ICALEO® 2016 is right around the corner! In preparation for the event, we’ve compiled a quick guide of points of interest for laser professionals in San Diego, where the conference is held this year.
It’s time to discover the best in Electro-Optics & Photonics – and one of the most beautiful, engaging cities on the West Coast!
Find some time during your ICALEO 2016 trip to explore San Diego’s Harbor.
When the sessions and seminars are over for the day, many ICALEO visitors may wish to explore the city and its culture. Who can blame them? With a gorgeous coastline, average October highs in the low 70s, and a rich history, there is plenty to see and do while in town for the conference.
Here’s how to explore like a pro after-hours at ICALEO San Diego:
Museums of Interest
The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is home to permanent and traveling exhibits focusing on “furthering the public understanding and enjoyment of science and technology.” Located in Balboa Park, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is also home to the world’s first IMAX dome theater. Featuring state of the art projection systems, the theater also hosts planetarium shows hosted by the San Diego Astronomy Association. The center also hosts bimonthly workshops on 3D printing technology with San Diego State University. While the museum typically caters to a younger crowd, there is something here for everyone.
Located right around the corner from the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is the San Diego Air and Space Museum. Charting the history of flight from a 1700’s hot air balloon through the space age, the San Diego Air and Space Museum is a celebration of aviation and spaceflight advancements. Visitors can enjoy seeing both original and recreated air & spacecraft, as well as learn the history behind them. The museum is currently hosting the exhibition Da Vinci: The Ultimate Inventor. Showcasing the art, inventions, and machines developed by Leonardo Da Vinci with a focus on transportation, military, and mechanical designs, the exhibit is sure to enthrall any visitor.
Other Points of Interest
The USS Midway Aircraft Carrier also serves as a museum featuring over 60 exhibits, including over 20 restored aircraft. The USS Midway was one of the US’s longest serving aircraft carriers, seeing over 200,000 sailors in its time. Self-guided tours are included with admission,as you make your way through the restored aircraft carrier, covering over 50 years of Navy history. USS Midway is home to multiple flight simulators and interactive exhibits, sure to entertain and educate. On average, guests spend over 3 hours on the carrier, so plan accordingly!
Activities by the Coast and Downtown
For those looking to take advantage of the warm weather and gorgeous coast, Pacific Beach is not too far away from Sheraton® San Diego. This beach town provides sun, surf, and sand by day and vibrant nightlife, after sunset. Catch waves early in the day and grab a drink at one of the many restaurants or bars, afterwards.
Registration for ICALEO® is now open. With less than a month until the event, do not delay and miss your opportunity to learn, observe, and network at this premiere laser event. Information about the event can be found at https://www.lia.org/conferences/icaleo. Before attending, be sure to check out the top five things to see and do at ICALEOfor 2016.

ORLANDO, FL – JULY 12, 2016 — Registration is now open for the Laser Institute of America’s inaugural Industrial Laser Conference, to be held at IMTS 2016 on September 13, at the renowned McCormick Place in Chicago. Designed exclusively for the industrial manufacturing professional, the conference will showcase laser applications that are driving the evolution of manufacturing. From manufacturing directors to automation engineers to production specialists, every member of the industrial manufacturing workforce can benefit from attending this conference, learning over the course of a full day how to leverage lasers into their manufacturing processes in a high-tech, high-demand market.
From additive manufacturing to cutting, welding and marking, this content-packed event applies to every industrial manufacturer seeking a future-forward increase in skills, company profits and efficiency. As Industrial Laser Conference Program Chair Elizabeth Kautzmann of FANUC America Corporation explains, these innovative techniques are emerging and revolutionizing the industry to meet market demands, all rooted in the field’s collective understanding of conventional machining.
“Just as significant as discussions about technology, are the means by which legacy manufacturers can incorporate and powerfully exploit the versatility of the technology,” Kautzmann said. “We can now migrate conventional subtractive processes into realms where newer approaches, which combine innovative and fresh perspectives based on solid manufacturing building blocks, are already in place.”
Inherent to laser technology is the means by which the process of applying laser types and techniques fosters innovation and creativity. Creation and innovation is a natural tendency in laser technology, Kautzmann points out, which is one of the most exciting parts about the future of industrial manufacturing – and one of the overarching themes of this year’s conference.
As a Laser/Fabrication Program Manager, Kautzmann promotes and encourages developments in engineering features to advance discussions and applications in laser innovations. Over the course of nearly 30 years, Kautzmann’s career has been one in championing the case for laser technology penetration in conventional and emerging markets. The Industrial Laser Conference is the best way, she believes, to continue her mission and inspire the future of the manufacturing workforce.
“The ensemble of talent at this year’s conference reveals a group of individuals pulled together for the sake of meeting manufacturing’s greatest challenges, with technology’s most diverse tool, the laser. Each of the presenters, as well as the prospective attendees, represent a collection of know-how, which is the very legacy that lasers intend to fortify during this age of innovative, manufacturing evolution.”
From advancements in technology, expected challenges, and Kautzmann’s favorite topic, Trends in the Trenches, Kautzmann expects the LIA Industrial Laser Conference to breathe new life into the present and future of industrial manufacturing.
“FANUC’s founder, Dr. Inaba, once said, ‘technology has a history, but engineers have no past. They only need to create.’ I think that quote sums up the purpose of the new Industrial Laser Conference perfectly.”
Registration to the 2016 Industrial Laser Conference includes access to the IMTS exhibit floor for all six days. For more information and to register, visit www.lia.org/laserconference.
