Some Feedback from ILAS 2025

B ONeill

"The world of industrial lasers has never stood still, and neither have AILU. Having attended the ILAS event in March, it was a standout event in the industrial laser calendar. The event was packed with insightful talks, engaging discussions, and the latest equipment and services that reflect the diversity and dynamism of our field. Whether you're a seasoned expert or a newcomer with a laser-curious mind, this is the place to exchange ideas, spark collaborations, and stay at the forefront of industrial laser technology. AILU has once again created the perfect environment for serious science, lively discussion, and a few good laughs along the way."

"Beyond the technical sessions, it was wonderful to reconnect with former colleagues and friends, and to engage with new contacts to exchange ideas and lay the groundwork for exciting future collaborations. A heartfelt thank you to the Association of Industrial Laser Users (AILU), Catherine Rose, and Dave MacLellan for their impeccable organisation, planning, and support. I’m already looking forward to the next AILU event!"

"Chesford Grange works really well for ILAS and the flow of the event was excellent. The auditoria are good, easy to get in/out of, visibility of screens was good and so was the sound. The number of attendees is testament to the strength of ILAS - most UK laser people/companies make the effort to visit because its possible to speak with everyone in one place over the two days."

"The older I get, the more I enjoy spending time with AM experts with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives on the hot topics we also prioritise. And today I was lucky!
I spent the morning chairing the AM-1 Session in AILU ILAS 2025 Conference. Many interesting and inspring talks from the University of Birmingham (Peter Ibrahim), Cranfield University, Renishaw and UKAEA! A significant engagement from the audience with many questions and very productive discussions... sincere thanks to Catherine Rose for the kind invitation.
In the afternoon, I was invited to the expert panel of DILAPRO Project which was absolutely another pleasure to be a part of! I invite AM experts who are interested in data driven qualification to follow this space!"
