Welcome to PICALO 2008 and Beijing - "The Olympics" for international laser materials processing. PICALO 2008 is the third conference focusing on the growth of industrial lasers and applications in the pacific region. The general aim of PICALO is to bring together researchers, engineers, equipment suppliers and industry personnel to hear the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications and to share knowledge, experiences and visions. PICALO 2008 will feature an exciting laser macro/micro processing program, a unique enterprise summit and a charming post-conference excursion in Beijing.
