Dear guided optics and optical sensors community, researchers, and industry leaders from France and abroad,

As the year comes to an end and 2026 planning begins just before the Christmas break, the question is simple:
why register now for the next GO2S® Symposium?

First of all, because this is the perfect moment to save the date for an event that brings our community together every two years. And above all, because the 2026 edition promises to be exceptional.

This year’s sessions will be chaired by renowned industrial and academic experts, including representatives from SNCF, Airbus, Télécom Paris, ETH Zürich, and the University of Mons, among others.
They will lead high-level discussions highlighting the latest advances and innovations in guided optics and optical sensors, as well as the many industrial and real-world applications emerging across our regions.

The symposium will take place in an outstanding setting. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region will welcome us to Lyon Confluence, at the Hôtel de Région, on:

This location offers the perfect opportunity to (re)discover Lyon, the capital of Gaul, whether during a relaxing weekend with family or friends before the event, or alongside the symposium itself.

A highlight of the event will be the gala evening on Monday night, designed to combine work and leisure in a friendly and inspiring atmosphere.

As in previous editions held in Paris Bercy, Lyon, and Bordeaux, discussions are expected to be rich and forward-looking. Exhibitors will showcase their latest innovations, and we hope that exchanges between manufacturers, users, and researchers will spark new connections and long-term partnerships.

Whether you are already familiar with the quality of GO2S® conferences or eager to deepen your knowledge of fiber optic sensors, their applications, and the latest market developments, make sure to save the date now for this unmissable biennial event.
