Speeches were made by Daniel Choquet (Manager of Bordeux Imaging Centre and IINS – Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience) and Christophe Ranger (Director and Scientific Manager, Explora Nova) followed by demonstrations of the products.

Those that attended were from various fields of research in Bordeaux, Christophe Mulle, Lionel Canioni, Sébastien Fribourg and Brice Kauffmann to mention a few and officials from the Aquitaine and Charente region such as Armelle Judde (Consiel Regional d’Aquitaine and Jean-Marc Marechal (Communauté d’Agglomération de La Rochelle). Representatives of various industrial partners were also present such as Zeiss, Leica, Opto and Hamamatsu, as well as representatives from Unitec, Innovalis Aquitaine, Alphanov and Alpha Route des Lasers competitive cluster.
