IONS (International OSA Network of Students) conferences are an OSA conference organized by students for students. The next North America IONS conference will be held at the University of Arizona at the College of Optical Sciences. The focus of the conference is to promote networking among students, have events to improve professional development skills and of course have the students present their work. There have been multiple conferences in other countries but this will be only the 2nd in North America. The conference will be in the Optical Sciences building at the University of Arizona on Friday October 1st and Saturday October 2nd.
