TOP Conference 2027 brings together an expert line-up of speakers from across industry, academia and research to explore developments in photonics, optical networking, quantum communications and data-centre–related technologies. Now in its sixth year, the conference continues to grow as a practical and collaborative forum for professionals working in optical and photonic systems.
The 2026 programme featured contributions from leading organisations including NVIDIA, Nokia Bell Labs, Lumentum, Microsoft and G&H, offering insight into advancements in optical components, photonic integration, high-speed networks and emerging optical applications, as well as speakers from prominent research universities such as the University of Bristol, University of Warwick, University of Patras, and Chalmers University of Technology, providing perspectives on current scientific research, experimental results and future directions in photonics and quantum communications.
Across two days, delegates attended technical sessions, invited talks, poster presentations and an exhibition showcasing photonics technologies and solutions from a growing list of exhibitors. The event provided opportunities to learn from specialists active in the field, meet peers from relevant sectors, and explore tools and technologies supporting optical system development.
Whether you work in industry, research or academia, TOP Conference 2027 offers a focused environment to stay informed, connect with others working in optical technologies and gain practical insight into current and emerging trends shaping the sector.
