The 2009 International Laser Safety Conference (ILSC) is a comprehensive four-day conference covering all aspects of laser safety practice and hazard control. Technical sessions and workshops will address developments in regulatory, mandatory and voluntary safety standards for laser products and for laser use. Laser safety experts from all over the world will meet and discuss their research, programs and standards. Professionals in all fields and applications will find ILSC® 2009 a tremendous source for information and networking opportunities.

Laser Safety Practical Applications Seminar is a 2-day seminar for the practical Laser Safety Officer. This seminar will be particularly useful for the Laser Safety Officers who are not full-time laser safety professionals. Participants will be involved in practical interactive workshops, panel discussions, and hot topics addressing the more common safety issues and concerns of the day to day operations in commercial, factory, research, and medical facility settings.
