Welcome to the 44th annual ICALEO!
It is with immense excitement and anticipation that I invite you to join ICALEO 2025, where we gather once again to advance the field of laser material processing. As the General Chair of this year's conference, it is my honor to extend a warm welcome to each of you.
This year, we are delighted to host ICALEO in the sunny and vibrant city of Orlando, FL. Being the home of the LIA and renowned for its innovation and creativity, Orlando provides the perfect backdrop for the extraordinary developments in laser technology and applications that we will explore together.
Our program this year features an impressive lineup of sessions covering a diverse range of topics. From micro and nano processing to the capabilities of laser additive manufacturing, we will push the boundaries of what is possible. We will also delve into advancements in battery manufacturing, the evolving world of artificial intelligence, and how lasers continue to integrate seamlessly into these dynamic fields.
For those attending ICALEO for the first time, a special welcome to you. ICALEO is more than just a conference; it is a nexus of minds, ideas, and innovations. Beyond the formal presentations and posters, I encourage you to engage in informal discussions and networking opportunities. The spirit of discovery, collaboration, and community is a hallmark of the ICALEO experience.
I wish you a rewarding and enjoyable experience at ICALEO 2025 and look forward to the exciting discussions and discoveries that await us in Orlando!
