Cover Story What is Photon Fair? The first Hamamatsu Photonics exhibition “Photon Fair” was held in Japan in 1980. The purpose of Photon Fair was not just to exhibit the full range of products, but to introduce visitors to new technologies, provide technical consultations, lectures and workshops. Since that first event in 1980, Photon Fair has been held every 5 years. Last year's event was held in Hamamatsu City, Japan. This event is viewed as an ideal platform for meeting with customers to exchange ideas and information, and as an outreach to the general public. It is also an exhibition which demonstrates the Company's vision for the future, made possible with its range of cutting-edge products and technology. Visitors have the chance to experience all the possibil­ ities that photonics technology has to offer. Last year's event attracted more than 10,000 visitors over 3 days. Photos from Photon Fair 2018
