Here is something of interest for every member of this forum! All the participants at this event have the opportunity to make a presentation or demonstration focusing on their interest in wavefront reconstruction. Like the 2024 Symposium there will be an Art Marketplace - Collector's Corner where all attendees may exhibit and show their wares and artwork in the Pop Up Holography Gallery. In 2024 over 200 attendees' holograms were on display in that space, plus an additional 75+ holograms on display in the permanent Dr. Tung Jeong Memorial Gallery space.

Dr. Tung Jeong initiated this enterprise in 1982 as a social gathering for the free exchange of ideas across all aspects of the medium; scientific, technical, commercial and artistic. There is no better place for the community of active holographers from hobbyists to artists to experts to meet up and learn from each other to create a renaissance for the medium. Details about the upcoming conference are at https://isdh2025.org. Witness the camaraderie from last summer at https://isdh2024.org. Registration begins on April 1st, 2025.

Is the future of holography rainbow-colored? Symposia such as this upcoming one can generate plans for the future.
For years the establishment of archives and artist in residence labs and professional holography organizations have been bandied about on social media, but nothing happens. It's only when people meet in person that business like this really gets resolved. The totally immersive environment of all day nothing but seeing and talking about holography with other like-minded individuals is a resonating cavity for something coherent to be emitted.
If you want to be a contributor to the renaissance of this incredible medium, come to Lake Forest this summer and join in the discussion!

What would you like to see hands-on and in person at ISDH 2025, or at any symposium in the future? Suggest a demonstration either to info@isdh2025.org, or in the comments section below, and maybe your wish will come true! Because of the malleable format of the symposium based upon the free exchange of information, and the participation of holographers at all skill levels, plus the hands-on legacy of the Lake Forest College Holography Workshops, the presentations can be tailored to the audience!

A vibration isolation table and other optical equipment is available to the conference (courtesy of the Lake Forest College Physics Department) to set up hands-on demonstrations of typical holo laboratory operations (within reason) to be viewed in reality, not on-line! So if you have a topic that you are curious about, let us know, and certainly there will be someone here who has the expertise to show how it's done! Or if your presentation requires something more than just a PowerPoint, we shall see if we can pull together the resources for a more hands-on experience!

The Phase Holography Institute as well as the Vintage Laser Archive are willing to sponsor a total of three holographers' tuition fees to the 2025 International Symposium on Display Holography to promote the growth of the medium.  The applicants must be able to prove that they have demonstrated initiative in the field by having created a portfolio of holograms, recorded in their own labs or elsewhere, in either the technical or artistic domain, and would benefit from the experience to grow their practice and the field.  Send resume, images, social media links et cetera to info@isdh2025.org to answer the question of "how will your presence at ISDH 2025 improve your life and the future of the medium?"  The deadline for submission is Monday, May 26th, with results announced on June 1st. https://isdh2025.org
