OPTIC's AGM and OPIN's Official Launch
May 15, 2008 - Niagara College

Welcome 3

We warmly invite you to attend OPIN’s Launch event, on May 15th, at Niagara College (a similar launch will be held in Ottawa the following week). OPIN is now Ontario’s single voice for photonics and optics. OPIN will build on the successful track-record of OPTIC and the Ottawa Photonics Cluster, which will now be local OPIN chapters.

As you can see, the event highlights neighbouring clusters – New York and Quebec – and Bob Breault from Arizona has agreed to attend as well. We hope to give you a compelling vision of how your participation in a strong Ontario cluster can help your business.

Apart from that, we’re showcasing Niagara College – with tours of the Greenhouse and Visualization Centre, as well as the winery, and dinner at the Culinary Institute. In other words we want you to have fun, meet and greet with collegues and have ample time for networking. Details of the event are copied below. I hope you’ll find time to attend.

Best Regards,
Mike Riggin, & Mike Scott,
Chairs, OPIN
