The Event

Following the success of the first FOHEC conference in May 2009 Yeovil based fibre optics specialists AVoptics Ltd successfully staged the second Fibre Optics in Harsh Environments Conference in MAy 2010 at the STEAM museum in Swindon.

Once again this was a very well received event and built on last year to form a two day event attended by over 120 delegates.
