The Photonics Promoter Award
SuperHero League celebrates the photonics community on LinkedIn by highlighting the people, stories, and innovations that matter most.
The photonics industry is home to some of the brightest minds and innovations, yet the stories behind these achievements often go unnoticed on social media. To celebrate those driving awareness and engagement in the field, OPTOMAN is proud to announce the launch of the Photonics Promoter Award by the #SuperHeroLeague.
SuperHero League is redefining networking in the laser and photonics industry by launching a project that brings together relevant scientists, engineers, and professionals to share knowledge, experience, refer each other, and collaborate, all while promoting photonics in a fun and engaging way.
The award aims to recognize individuals who are excelling at promoting photonics on LinkedIn, amplifying the work, people, and breakthroughs that truly matter. Nominations are now open via the official form at https://superheroleague.org.
A panel of distinguished photonics experts, Dr. Markus Kogel-Hollacher, Cory Boone, Gwenn Pallier, Lukas Ceizaris, and Sara Goswin, will select five winners. In addition, attendees at SPIE Photonics West will have the opportunity to vote in a public poll to determine the People’s Choice Winner.
Winners of the Photonics Promoter Award will be announced at the SuperHero League Party during Photonics West, shining a well-deserved spotlight on those elevating the photonics community.
