Hi Andy, Giuliano, We are currently collecting sponsors for the BioBrillouin meeting in Berlin, and I just contacted Intelon Optics to see if interested. Given your closer relations/connections I wanted to see if you could follow up/put in a good word. FYI. I contacted Dimitri Chernyak with the email pasted below. We contacted (or are in process of contacting) I think all the usual potential sponsors, but if you have any ideas of folks that we might have missed that you think might be interested, let me know or poke directly (with the attached sponsorship flyer). Thanks and all the best, Kareem Dear Dimitri, Hope all well. I am writing because we are currently organising the 9th BioBrillouin Conference in Berlin, Germany, which will take place at the conference venue of the Max Planck Society (Harnack House) on the 25-27 November 2025, and are seeking sponsorship from companies and learned societies. As with the past meetings, this meeting will bring together all the leading researchers working on Brillouin Light Scattering Spectoscopy for Life Science and Medical Applications. Attached are the sponsorship packages – we were wondering if Intelon Optics would be interested in sponsoring this event? Am ofcourse happy to answer any further questions.. Looking forward to hearing from you! All the best, Kareem On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee: Jochen Guck (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light & Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin, Germany) Kareem Elsayad (Medical University of Vienna, Austria) Robert Prevedel (European Molecular Biology Laboratory - EMBL, Germany) Francesca Palombo (Exeter University, United Kingdom) Stephanie Möllmert (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Germany) Michael Monaghan (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Thorsten Hamann (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) PS. The event was originally planned to take place in Boston, USA, yet due to the current political climate has been moved to Europe on relatively short notice. The expected number of attendees from academia are between 50-100 and span all continents (except Antarctica).
