In the current era of rapid technological development, laser technology, as a key support in the field of advanced manufacturing, is profoundly changing the pattern of life and industry. As a top global event in the laser industry, the World Laser Manufacturing Conference has been successfully held for six sessions since its restructuring and upgrading in 2019, becoming an important platform to promote laser technology innovation and industrial integration, attracting global attention.

I. Review of the Conference Development Process

In 2019, the World Laser Manufacturing Conference was restructured and upgraded. The first session attracted many laser academicians, experts, and enterprise technical executives from home and abroad with its high-standard conference settings and rich academic content, building a cutting-edge technology exchange platform for the global laser industry and laying the foundation for subsequent development. Since then, the scale and influence of the conference have expanded year by year. The second session deepened discussions on Segmented fields of laser technology and promoted industry-university-research cooperation; the third session strengthened international exchanges and achieved global ideological collisions; the fourth session (2022) adopted an online-offline combined model under the challenge of the epidemic, focusing on frontier technologies such as ultrafast lasers; the fifth session in 2024 took "Intelligent Laser Manufacturing to Light Up the Future" as the theme, carrying out in-depth discussions on industrial policies, etc., injecting new vitality into the laser industry...

The past six World Laser Manufacturing Conferences have always adhered to the theme and continued to innovate, achieving remarkable results in promoting the development of the laser industry. From its inception to becoming a top event, the conference has witnessed the leap of laser technology. In the future, the World Laser Manufacturing Conference will continue to play a leading role, pay attention to cutting-edge developments, enrich content forms, strengthen international exchanges, provide a better platform for the global laser industry, and help laser technology achieve breakthrough innovations in multiple fields.
