The “AKL’24 – International Laser Technology Congress” took place in Aachen from April 17 to 19, 2024. For the 14th time, the congress provided a platform for an intensive professional exchange on current technology trends and perspectives in laser technology. In addition to three forums and nine sessions with a total of 82 specialist presentations, the 525 participants from 21 countries had access to a fully booked exhibition with 58 companies and 60 “Laser Technology Live” demonstrations in the laboratories of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT and RWTH Aachen University. Two evening events and the deliberately relaxed schedule on the three days of the congress invited participants to network. In short: AKL’24 was the place to be for the laser community.

The forums and sessions of the three-day congress will inevitably take place in parallel, especially as the interests and focal points of the participants differ. At the same time, the AKL stands for professional depth. It bridges the gap between application-oriented research and practical applications. Technology suppliers and customers meet here, develop questions, goals and visions together, and use the congress to bring each other up to date.
