Coronavirus – COVID-19 – Update 4 November 2020
Due to the continued spread of the coronavirus and COVID-19, including a second wave around the world, AILU will deliver ILAS 2021 as an online event. The platform we are using offers a very high degree of networking and interactivity, which we recognise is central to the success of ILAS.
The dates for ILAS will be 24 & 25 March 2021, and the online event will take place within the same time window based on GMT timings (CET -1 hour).
Dave MacLellan, executive director of AILU, discusses how UK laser firms have answered the call for manufacturing to aid the fight against Covid-19
