Congratulations again on this event, it’s been really incredible as a participant!
Thibault Grillon, ROBIC
Great job with the event, I know what it’s like to organize an event of this magnitude – hats off to you!
Alexandre Daoust, NRF
I’d like to congratulate the whole team on the organization, scope and quality of the event. I know it’s a huge job, and it’s all the more appreciated that it’s a 100% Quebec event, with all the quality networking that goes with it. I look forward to helping you more next year.
Maroun Massabki, CCTT-Optech
Congratulations to Optonique – Pôle en optique-photonique du Québec ! As usual, you rose to the occasion and more. We’re delighted to be able to count on you to represent our industry!
Dominique Duquette, Quantino
Congratulations Madison and the entire Optonique team for bringing together the important and passionate players in optics-photonics here in Quebec City! We too could have our own “Photonics West”! It’s sometimes harder to forge links here at home than at the big shows!
Louis-Philippe Tremblay, INO
Bravo to the whole team for a great event! A success all round, we really enjoyed the event.
Cédric Prince, Axelys
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the event. Repeatedly. Numerous times. In different ways and for different reasons. It was all positive. Again, I would have loved to have been there, but thank you for the kind words and thank you for the opportunity to at least be a little bit there with all of you virtually. You do inspired and inspiring work. Happy to be your ally, me and the whole gang.
Luc Sirois, Québec’s Chief Innovator
Thanks to you and your team for the great day you gave us yesterday. It was top-notch!
Michel Têtu, Retired
Congratulations and thank you for yesterday. You shone brighter than the light: it’s with stars in my eyes that I confirm that you were on fire! It was a privilege and an honor for ROBIC to participate in this event.
Frédéric Venne, Robic
Thanks again for having me as a panelist yesterday at your event. I wanted to congratulate you because it was really a great success – a good turnout of motivated and interested people, it was impressive.
Charles L’espérance, BDC
Sick job. Wow. Insane event, perfectly put together, honestly, really impressive. You’re doing a hell of a good work. Seriously, it’s a game changer. Tthanks a lot, it’s really cool what you’re doing, we’ve got a great community, and without you we wouldn’t even know it. Hats off to you!
Nicolas Lapointe, PointLaz
