About

The Montana State University's Optical Technology Center (OpTeC) will host the 32nd annual OpTeC Conference on October 8, 2026. The OpTeC conference highlights optical science and engineering and is where undergraduate and graduate students, research staff, and faculty report on recent developments in optics at Montana State University. Companies will also share new developments in industry. After a day of oral presentations, a highlight of the meeting is always the evening catered poster session that includes many local and regional businesses. Please join us in celebrating optics and photonics research at MSU.

The OpTeC Conference is held in the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering building in Inspiration Hall (room 201).
