This symposium features research spanning a broad range of topics, from facilities and instruments in operation or development, to novel technologies and techniques for the facilities of the future. Engineers, scientists and industry are coming together at a very exciting time in the development of these tools of discovery.

his itur ad astra: “With these, we go to the stars.”

With these words in 1663, James Gregory showed the world his design for a reflective telescope. Within 10 years he would also discover diffraction grating, and by 1675 he was Professor of Mathematics at Edinburgh University. Given the prominence of Gregory and Edinburgh in the history of Astronomy, Scotland’s beautiful capital city is the perfect location for our gathering. Please join us in Edinburgh for this wonderful event.

MONDAY08:50 to 10:00 • Location: EICC Pentland Auditorium (Level 3)

Studying the Birth and the Fate of the Universe Using Multi-Object Spectroscopy

Gravitational Wave Astronomy: Opening New Windows on the Universe

Hitoshi MurayamaUniv. of California, Berkeley (USA), Univ. of Tokyo (Japan)

The understanding of the Universe has been through a tremendous revolution. The composition is more than 95%

unknown, comprised of mysterious dark matter and dark energy. The dark matter is crucial for us to understand how the stars and galaxies were born, and detailed properties of galaxies and clusters of galaxies today. The dark energy, on the other hand, is ripping the Universe apart and holds the key to the fate of the Universe. Detailed multi-object spectroscopy is crucial to address both aspects. I will in particular introduce the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) being built for the Subaru telescope as a tool for these investigations. PFS is an international collaboration of institutions in Japan, Brazil, France, Germany, Taiwan, and the US.

Biography: Hitoshi Murayama, Professor of Physics at University of Cal-ifornia, Berkeley, and director of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, University of Tokyo. A particle theorist with keen interest in astrophysics and cosmology, in particular dark matter, dark energy, baryon asymmetry, and inflation. Born in Japan, grew up in Germany, and worked in Berkeley, US the last 23 years. He loves music, plays the string bass, and bikes on Berkeley hills.

Martin HendryUniv. of Glasgow (United Kingdom)

Gravitational waves are the ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, produced by some of the most violent astrophysical events in the cosmos:

supernovae, colliding black holes, even the Big Bang itself. By the time grav-itational waves reach the Earth, however, they are incredibly weak – such that their direct detection requires precision displacement measurements at the level of about one part in ten to the 21 or less – presenting enormous scientific and technological challenges. In this talk I will review the history and current status of the emerging field of gravitational-wave astronomy, highlighting the remarkable technology that underpins a range of projects spanning the gravitational-wave spectrum. I will focus, in particular, on the search for high frequency gravitational waves, from ground-based laser interferometers, and for much lower frequency gravitational waves, from spaceborne detectors. I will highlight the current status and future prospects of research in these two gravitational-wave windows on the cosmos – with the first science run of the Advanced LIGO ground-based interferometers completed in early 2016 and the successful launch of ESA’s LISA Pathfinder mission in December 2015. In view of these exciting developments I will demonstrate that the future for gravitational-wave astronomy is exceedingly bright.

Biography: Martin Hendry is Professor of Gravitational Astrophysics and Cosmology at the University of Glasgow, where he is currently head of the School of Physics and Astronomy. He is a member of Glasgow’s Institute for Gravitational Research which for many years has played a leading role in the global development, design, construction and operation of ground- and space-based gravitational-wave detectors – including both Initial LIGO and Advanced LIGO, and LISA Pathfinder.

TUESDAY09:00 to 10:00 • Location: EICC Pentland Auditorium (Level 3)

Let There Be Light: The Observational Quest for the First Galaxies

Richard Ellis Univ. College London (United Kingdom) and European Southern Observatory (Germany)

The first billion years after the Big Bang can be regarded as the final observational frontier in assembling a coherent picture of cosmic history. During this period early stars and

galaxies formed and the Universe became bathed in ultraviolet light for the first time. Sometime during this era hydrogen in the intergalactic medium also transitioned from a neutral gas to one that was fully ionized. How and when did this `cosmic reionization’ occur and were early star-forming galaxies the primary agents? Recent measures of the amount of electron scattering of microwave background photons by the Planck satellite suggest that reionization was a rapid process that occurred later than originally en-visaged. This development raises the exciting prospect that we may be able to directly observe the first galaxies. Deep exposures with the Hubble Space Telescope have provided the primary evidence that star-forming galaxies were present during the relevant period. Detailed spectroscopy of these galaxies is now required to address these important questions. I will review the rapid progress being made in this area with current facilities, and the prospects with upcoming ones, including the James Webb Space Telescope and extremely large ground-based telescopes now under construction.

Biography: Richard Ellis studied at London and Oxford Universities and served as a professor and department head at Durham and Cambridge Universities. He moved to Caltech in 1999 to assist in developing the Thirty Meter Telescope and was Director, Caltech Optical Observatories from 2000-2006. He returned to University College London in 2015 and is cur-rently on leave as Senior Scientist at the European Southern Observatory. Ellis’ research interests span the distribution of dark matter, the history of the cosmic expansion and studies of the first galaxies seen when the Universe was less than 5% of its present age.

The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Observatory

Tadayuki Takahashi Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, JAXA (Japan)

The X-ray band is capable of probing extreme environments of the Universe such as those near black holes or the sur-face of neutron stars, as well as observing exclusively the

emission from high-temperature gas and selectively the emission from accelerated electrons. In recent years, Chandra, XMM, Suzaku, NuSTAR and other X-ray missions have made great advances in X-ray Astronomy. We have obtained knowledge that has revolutionized our understanding of the high energy Universe and we have learned that phenomena observed in the X-ray band are deeply connected to those observed in other wavelengths from radio to gamma-rays. ASTRO-H, the new Japanese X-ray Astronomy Satellite following Suzaku, is an international X-ray mission, planed for launch in Feb, 2016. The ASTRO-H mission is equipped with a suite of sensitive instruments with the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E < 3 keV and a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft X-rays to gamma-rays. The simultaneous broad band pass, coupled with high spectral resolution of <7 eV by the micro-calorimeter will enable a wide variety of important science themes to be pursued, including a full range of plasma diagnostics and kinematic studies of X-ray emitting gas. The mission aims to understand the dynamics of the Universe in general, and study compact regions of high matter and energy concentration allowing probe of production of energetic particles, which are far from the thermal equilibrium. In this presentation, we will describe the mission, scientific goals and report the initial performance on the orbit.

Biography: Tadayuki Takahashi is a Professor at Institute of Space and As-tronautical Science (ISAS) in JAXA. He is the principal investigator and the project manager for the ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Mission. He carried out a series of balloon experiments for gamma-ray observations in mid 1980s to 1990s, when he was in the University of Tokyo as a research associate. Since he was appointed as an associate professor at ISAS in 1995, he has been actively involved in a series of X-ray and gamma-ray missions in Japan and US. He earned his PhD in physics in 1987 from the University of Tokyo.

PLENARY SESSIONS



WEDNESDAY09:00 to 10:00 • Location: EICC Pentland Auditorium (Level 3)

Today’s Visions, Tomorrow’s Telescopes From LOFAR to SKA: The New Era of Radio Astronomy

Raffaella Morganti Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy and Univ. of Groningen (Netherlands)

Radio astronomy is going through a period of change. In-novative instrument designs are being adopted to broaden the capabilities of new radio telescopes while keeping them

affordable. These new technologies are giving unprecedented possibilities for new modes of observations and, therefore, for new science and new ways to do science. I will describe the implications this has on extragalactic astronomy, focusing on the study of radio-load active galactic nuclei. The much expanded field-of-view and the broader observed band, now avail-able on a number of new radio telescopes, allow multiple, very different studies with very different aims to be done from the same observations. Radio astronomy has been always data intensive, but these new capabil-ities are pushing the data rates and the size of the datasets even further. This requires not only state of the art computing facilities, but also more effort for the development of sophisticated algorithms and pipelines as well as archive facilities. I will show some of the latest results, starting with the new understanding we are building up with the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), and then will move on to other new instruments which are paving the exciting, but challenging, way to the Square Kilometre Array.

Biography: Raffaella Morganti is staff astronomer at the Netherlands Insti-tute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) and professor at the Kapteyn Institute, University of Groningen. Her career started with the PhD at the University of Bologna followed by an ESO Fellowship. She has worked at the Institute of Radio Astronomy (Bologna) and the Australia Telescope National Facility before landing at ASTRON where she was Head of the Astronomy Group for eight years. In 2003 she received an ERC Advanced Grant to explore the role of radio-loud active galactic nuclei in galaxy evolution. For this, she is using new radio telescopes and, in particular, the two new instruments built by ASTRON: LOFAR and Apertif.

PLENARY SESSIONS

George Helou California Institute of Technology (USA)

Great advances in concept and technology have taken us from Galileo’s telescope to NASA’s Great Observatories, revolutionizing astronomy and cosmology many times along the way. Today’s scientists and engineers are dreaming up

yet more innovations to enhance our ability to collect and analyze photons and other physical messengers. This talk will outline some visionary space telescope projects, their challenges, their reach, and their promise to help us rethink the Universe.

Biography: George Helou is Executive Director of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) and Research Professor of Physics at the Cali-fornia Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA. Helou has worked on the science operations of IRAS, ISO, Spitzer, Herschel, Planck and WISE. He has used those and many other telescopes to study how galaxies turn gas and dust into stars, and how the first generation of stars and quasars came about and evolved into today’s universe.



THURSDAY09:00 to 10:00 • Location: EICC Pentland Auditorium (Level 3)

Imaging of Extrasolar Planets: Results and Perspectives

Anne-Marie Lagrange CNRS, Institut de Planetology et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble (France)

The way planets form and evolve has remained mysterious for many centuries. Planets in the Solar system provided first constraints to modern models in the 70’s. However,

our view was limited and biased. Since two decades, the situation has dramatically changed, thanks to discoveries of extra-solar planets. An unexpected diversity was evidenced, that forced astronomers to consider various, more elaborate formation and evolution models. Yet, we are today far from having a complete understanding of planet formation and from being able to discover possible signatures of life on extra-solar, Earth-like planets. Extra-solar planets were found first using indirect methods and, only recently using direct imaging. Direct imaging of exoplanets is indeed very demanding in terms of image quality and only the most recent instru-mental developments (adaptive optics when observing from the ground, coronagraphs), coupled with sophisticated data reduction algorithms allow separating the faint planetary signal from the bright stellar one. This technique is at the same time very promising and therefore is the subject of very enthusiastic R&D efforts. In this review, I will briefly summarize the techniques and most prominent results obtained on extra-solar planets so far. I will then focus on the challenges for direct imaging and the results obtained, in particular with the newly installed extreme-Adaptive Optics instruments like VLT/SPHERE and GEMINI/GPI. A view of the future of direct imaging, in particular with forthcoming JWST and with the Extremely Large Telescopes will also be presented.

Biography: Anne-Marie Lagrange is Director of Research at CNRS and works at Institut de Planetology et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble (IPAG). She got her PhD at Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris in 1989, moved to ESO Garching for a post doctoral position, and then created in Grenoble a group dedicated to the study of planetary system formation in the early nineties. She and her group discovered and studied planetary disks using HST and ground based telescopes fed with Adaptive-Optics (AO), and later-on extra-solar planets with radial velocity and direct imaging techniques. She was involved in the developments of NAOS, the first AO system for the VLT and then of the extreme-AO fed planet-finder instrument SPHERE on the VLT. She has received honors and awards for her research. She is a member of the French Academy of Sciences.

Surveying the Sky with the LSST: Software as the Instrument of the Next Decade

Andrew Connolly Univ. of Washington (USA)

The development of a new generation of telescopes, large-scale detectors, and computational facilities has led to an era where it is now possible for deep optical surveys to survey a large fraction of the visible sky. One of the largest

of these surveys, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), will com-prise an 8.4 m primary mirror with a 9.6 square degree field-of-view and a 3.2 Gigapixel camera and begin operations at the end of this decade. Over the ten years of its operation, the LSST will survey half of the sky in six optical colors, discovering 37 billion stars and galaxies and detecting about 10 million variable or transient sources every night. In this talk I will describe the status of the LSST, its potential for studying the nature of dark matter and dark energy, for measuring the properties of our Galaxy, and for creating a census of our Solar System, and describe how advances in computational techniques for analyzing massive data streams might enable the LSST to meet its science objectives.

Biography: Andrew Connolly is a professor of astrophysics at the University of Washington, a Washington Research Foundation chair, and the director of the Center for Data Intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology (DIRAC). His research focuses on understanding the statistical evolution of our universe, by studying how structure forms and evolves on small and large scales—from the search for asteroids to the clustering of distant galaxies. He has been involved in the design and development of the Large Synoptic Sky Survey (LSST) for well over a decade and, with an expected data rate of 100 terabytes every week, he has been working on bringing together computer scientists, statisticians and astronomers to develop scalable algorithms and techniques for processing massive data streams.

JAMES GREGORY - SCOTLAND’S ISAAC NEWTON? Fred Watson Australian Astronomical Observatory (Australia)

You might be forgiven for saying ‘Who?’, for while James Gregory is remembered among astronomers as the inventor

of the Gregorian telescope, he is little known outside scientific and historical circles. Yet he made substantial contributions to optics, coming within a whisker of building the first successful reflecting telescope, and accidentally discovering the device we now call the diffraction grating. Moreover, his work in mathematics was among the most original and far-reaching of its time. Why, then, is Gregory not a household name? His career culminated in professorships at St Andrews and Edinburgh, which apparently failed to live up to his expectations, but there are other reasons for his relative obscurity. In this entertaining and fully-illustrated talk, self-confessed Gregory enthusiast Fred Watson lifts the veil on this unsung hero of the seventeenth century.

Biography: Fred Watson has been an astronomer at the Australian As-tronomical Observatory since 1995. He is a graduate of the Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews, and is today an adjunct professor at several Australian universities. Fred is best known for his radio and TV broadcasts, talks, and other outreach programs, which earned him the 2006 Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Science. He has also written a number of award-winning books, and was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2010. Fred has an asteroid named after him (5691 Fredwatson), but says that if it hits the Earth, it won’t be his fault.

LISTENING TO EINSTEIN’S UNIVERSE: THE HUNT FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVES Martin Hendry Univ. of Glasgow (United Kingdom)

One hundred years ago Albert Einstein predicted the exis-tence of invisible gravitational waves - ripples in spacetime

produced by some of the most violent events in the universe: exploding stars, colliding black holes, perhaps even the Big Bang itself. By the time these ripples reach the Earth, however, they are incredibly weak, and have never been detected directly – until now.

On September 14th 2015 two giant laser interferometers known as LIGO, the most sensitive scientific instruments ever built, detected gravitational waves from the merger of two massive black holes more than a billion light years from the Earth. LIGO estimated that the peak gravitational-wave power radiated during the final moments of this merger was more than ten times greater than the combined light power from all the stars and galaxies in the observable Universe.

Join Professor Martin Hendry as he recounts the inside story of this re-markable discovery - hailed by many as the scientific breakthrough of the century. Learn about the amazing technology behind the LIGO detectors, which can measure the signatures of spacetime ripples less than a million millionth the width of a human hair, and explore the exciting future that lies ahead for gravitational-wave astronomy as we open an entirely new window on the Universe.

Biography: Martin Hendry is Professor of Gravitational Astrophysics and Cosmology at the University of Glasgow, where he is currently head of the School of Physics and Astronomy. He is a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration - an international group of more than 900 scientists who - with their colleagues in the Virgo Collaboration - reported the historic discovery of gravitational waves in February 2016.

Film Event at The Cameo: “Moon”Location: Cameo Picture House, Edinburgh

Wednesday 29 June 2016 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21:00 to 22:30Have you ever felt a little lonely whilst observing? Or perhaps that your tele-scope was just too remote? Well, wait until you see Moon! This beautifully crafted film follows Sam as he comes to the end of his three-year mission on the Moon, running a remote lunar mining base with only a talkative computer for company. This BAFTA-winning film has been praised for both its tense storyline and also for its rather excellent scientific credentials. The film will be followed by a short talk and informal discussion with staff from the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, who will be putting those scien-tific credentials to the test and considering some of the more intriguing questions the film raises.

Systems Engineering and Large Telescope ObservatoriesSC1139Course Level: IntroductoryCEU: 0.65 $525 Members | $640 Non-Members USD Wednesday 08:30 to 17:30

Modern astronomical observatories are becoming larger and more complex with many components working together to achieve the com-mon goal of gathering useful information for astro-scientists. Success-ful engineering of these observatories is enabled by following a sys-tems engineering viewpoint of looking at the whole.

This viewpoint requires a multidisciplinary breadth and the ability to find a balance among 1) the system user’s needs and desires, 2) the manager’s funding and schedule constraints, and 3) the capabilities and ambitions of the engineering specialists who develop and build the system. The system engineer is sometimes described as the person on the program who should know the partial derivative of every parameter of the system with respect to every other parameter.

This course introduces the concepts and models that are used to evolve a system from an abstract vision to the final validated and ver-ified operational system. Examples are given that provide insight into the variety of engineering disciplines and typical subsystems found in observatories for optical astronomy observatories (X-ray through IR).

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• explain the stages within a System Engineering Life Cycle Model• create a context diagram for the system, identifying both internal

and external interfaces• construct an iterative process for flowing from Science Mission

goals to system level functional and physical requirements down to component level requirements within the constraints of the development process

• demonstrate how to evaluate trades and analyses of alternatives• conduct maturity, risk assessment and tracking analyses to identify

and manage technology development and risk mitigation activities• explain the role of technical budgets for managing requirements

and the mathematics behind them• determine the basics of probabilistic risk assessment• provide examples of Technical Performance Metrics monitoring as a

tool in requirements management• describe the use of integrated modeling as a tool for design

development and system verification

INTENDED AUDIENCEScientists, engineers, or managers who wish to learn more about sys-tem engineering as applied to mission definition and engineering de-velopment of large telescope astronomical observatories. The focus will be on space based observatories, but with relevant overlap with ground based systems. Undergraduate training in science or engineer-ing is assumed.

SPIE EVENT POLICIES

Acceptance of Policies and Registration ConditionsThe following Policies and Conditions

apply to all SPIE Events. As a condition

of registration, you will be required to

acknowledge and accept the SPIE Registration

Policies and Conditions contained herein.

Granting Attendee Registration and AdmissionSPIE, or their officially designated event management, in their sole dis-cretion, reserves the right to accept or decline an individual’s registra-tion for an event. Further, SPIE, or event management, reserves the right to prohibit entry or remove any individual whether registered or not, be they attendees, exhibitors, representatives, or vendors, who in their sole opinion are not, or whose conduct is not, in keeping with the character and purpose of the event. Without limiting the foregoing, SPIE and event management reserve the right to remove or refuse entry to any attendee, exhibitor, representative, or vendor who has registered or gained access under false pretenses, provided false information, or for any other reason whatsoever that they deem is cause under the circumstances.

SPIE Safe Meeting and Misconduct PolicySPIE is a professional, not-for-profit society committed to providing valu-able and safe conference and exhibition experiences. SPIE is dedicated to equal opportunity and treatment for all its members, meeting attendees, staff, and contractors. Attendees are expected to be respectful to other attendees, SPIE staff, and contractors. Harassment and other misconduct will not be tolerated; violators will be addressed promptly and seriously. Consequences up to and including expulsion from the event as appropri-ate will be implemented immediately.

The SPIE anti-harassment policy can be found at http://spie.org/policy.

Reporting of Unethical or Inappropriate BehaviorSPIE is an organization with strong values of responsibility and integrity. Our Harassment Policy, Ethics Statement, and Code of Professional Con-duct contain general guidelines for behavior and for conducting business with the highest standards of ethics.

Onsite at a SPIE meeting, contact any SPIE Staff member with concerns or questions for thorough follow-up. If you feel in immediate danger, please dial 911 for police intervention.

SPIE has established a confidential reporting system for staff and all meetings participants to raise concerns about possible unethical or in-appropriate behavior within our community. Complaints may be filed by phone at +1-888-818-6898 or at www.SPIE.ethicspoint.com and, if pre-ferred, may be made anonymously.

IdentificationTo verify registered participants and provide a measure of security, SPIE will ask attendees to present a government-issued Photo ID at registra-tion to collect registration materials.

Individuals are not allowed to pick up badges for attendees other than themselves. Further, attendees may not have some other person partici-pate in their place at any conference-related activity. Such other individu-als will be required to register on their own behalf to participate.

Capture and Use of a Person’s ImageBy registering for an SPIE event, I grant full permission to SPIE to capture, store, use, and/or reproduce my image or likeness by any audio and/or visual recording technique (including electronic/digital photographs or videos), and create derivative works of these images and recordings in any SPIE media now known or later developed, for any legitimate SPIE marketing or promotional purpose.

By registering for an SPIE event, I waive any right to inspect or approve the use of the images or recordings or of any written copy. I also waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising from or related to the use of the images, recordings, or materials. By registering, I release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless SPIE from and against any claims, damages or liability arising from or related to the use of the images, recordings or materials, including but not limited to claims of defamation, invasion of privacy, or rights of publicity or copyright infringement, or any misuse, distortion, blurring, alteration, optical illusion or use in composite form that may occur or be produced in taking, processing, reduction or pro-duction of the finished product, its publication or distribution.

Payment MethodRegistrants for paid elements of the event, who do not provide a method of payment, will not be able to complete their registration. Individuals with incomplete registrations will not be able to attend the conference until payment has been made. SPIE accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diner’s Club, checks and wire transfers. Onsite registra-tions can also pay with Cash.

Authors/CoauthorsBy submitting an abstract, you agree to the following conditions:

• An author or coauthor (including keynote, invited, and solicited speakers) will register at the author registration rate, attend the meeting, and make the presentation as scheduled.

• A manuscript (minimum 6 pages, maximum 20 pages) for any accepted oral, invited, keynote, or poster presentation will be submitted for pub-lication in the Proceedings of SPIE in the SPIE Digital Library. Some SPIE events have other requirements that the author is made aware of at the time of submission.

• Only papers presented at the conference and received according to publication guidelines and timelines will be published in the Proceed-ings of SPIE in the SPIE Digital Library (or via the requirements of that event).



Audio, Video, Digital Recording PolicyConferences, courses, and poster sessions: For copyright reasons, re-cordings of any kind are prohibited without prior written consent of the presenter or instructor. Attendees may not capture or use the materials presented in any meeting/course room or in course notes on display with-out written permission. Consent forms are available at Speaker Check-In. Individuals not complying with this policy will be asked to leave a given session and/or asked to surrender their recording media.

EXHIBITION HALL: For security and courtesy reasons, recordings of any kind are prohibited unless one has explicit permission from on-site com-pany representatives. Individuals not complying with this policy will be asked to surrender their recording media and to leave the exhibition hall.

Your registration signifies your agreement to be photographed or video-taped by SPIE in the course of normal business. Such photos and video may be used in SPIE marketing materials or other SPIE promotional items.

Laser Pointer Safety Information/PolicySPIE supplies tested and safety-approved laser pointers for all confer-ence meeting rooms. For safety reasons, SPIE requests that presenters use provided laser pointers.

Use of a personal laser pointer represents user’s acceptance of liability for use of a non-SPIE-supplied laser pointer. If you choose to use your own la-ser pointer, it must be tested to ensure <5 mW power output. Laser point-ers in Class II and IIIa (<5mW) are eye safe if power output is correct, but output must be verified because manufacturer labeling may not match actual output. Come to Speaker Check-In and test your laser pointer on our power meter. You are required to sign a waiver releasing SPIE of any liability for use of potentially non-safe, personal laser pointers. Misuse of any laser pointer can lead to eye damage.

Access to Technical and Networking EventsPersons under the age of 18 including babies, carried or in strollers, and toddlers are not allowed in technical or networking events. Anyone 18 or older must register as an attendee. All technical and networking events require a valid conference badge for admission.

Underage Persons on Exhibition Floor PolicyFor safety and insurance reasons:

• No persons under the age of 18 will be allowed in the exhibition area during move-in and move-out.

• Children 14 and older, accompanied by an adult, will be allowed in the exhibition area during open exhibition hours only.

• All children younger than 14, including babies in strollers and toddlers, are not allowed in the exhibition area at any time.

Unauthorized Solicitation PolicyUnauthorized solicitation in the Exhibition Hall is prohibited. Any non-exhibiting manufacturer or supplier observed to be distributing information or soliciting business in the aisles, or in another company’s booth, will be asked to leave immediately.

Unsecured Items PolicyPersonal belongings should not be left unattended in meeting rooms or public areas. Unattended items are subject to removal by security. SPIE is not responsible for items left unattended.

Wireless Internet Service Policy At SPIE events where wireless is included with your registration, SPIE pro-vides wireless access for attendees during the conference and exhibition but cannot guarantee full coverage in all locations, all of the time. Please be respectful of your time and usage so that all attendees are able to access the internet.

Excessive usage (e.g., streaming video, gaming, multiple devices) reduces bandwidth and increases cost for all attendees. No routers may be at-tached to the network. Properly secure your computer before accessing the public wireless network. Failure to do so may allow unauthorized ac-cess to your laptop as well as potentially introduce viruses to your com-puter and/or presentation. SPIE is not responsible for computer viruses or other computer damage.

Mobile Phones and Related Devices PolicyMobile phones, tablets, laptops, pagers, and any similar electronic devic-es should be silenced during conference sessions. Please exit the confer-ence room before answering or beginning a phone conversation.

SmokingFor the health and consideration of all attendees, smoking, including e-cigarettes, is not permitted at any event elements, such as but not limited to: plenaries, conferences, workshops, courses, poster sessions, hosted meal functions, receptions, and in the exhibit hall. Most facilities also prohibit smoking and e-cigarettes in all or specific areas. Attendees should obey any signs preventing or authorizing smoking in specified lo-cations.

Hold HarmlessAttendee agrees to release and hold harmless SPIE from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action arising out of or relating to your participation in the event you are registering to participate in and use of any associated facilities or hotels.

Event CancellationIf for some unforeseen reason SPIE should have to cancel the event, regis-tration fees processed will be refunded to registrants. Registrants will be responsible for cancellation of travel arrangements or housing reserva-tions and the applicable fees.
