Join us for PIConnect East, an informal networking event designed for employees in the integrated photonics ecosystem.

PIConnect is an initiative that brings together professionals from core partners, research institutes, and educational organizations to connect, collaborate, and learn. Regional PIConnect Events translate the national PIConnect mission into locally accessible gatherings. They connect a broad range of employees and support PIConnect’s aim to build community, share knowledge, and spark collaboration.

PhotonDelta is inviting you to the 2026 edition of PIConnect East, an informal regional networking event hosted by Brilliance RGB open to everyone working in the integrated photonics ecosystem!

Why PIConnect East?

This informal, locally hosted gathering is designed to help you connect with peers in the region, strengthen your local network, and discover companies active across East Netherlands (Gelderland, Overijssel). The event was created in response to interest from people in the ecosystem who wanted more opportunities to meet others working in the industry and to build meaningful regional connections.
