SPIE Smart Structures + Nondestructive Evaluation is the
largest international meeting on smart materials, sensor networks,
nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring. SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics,
was founded in 1955 to advance light-based technologies.
Over 700 researchers and engineers from 40+ countries gather Serving more than 264,000 constituents from
to share insights on these emerging technologies and industry approximately 166 countries, the not-for-profit society
