SPIE Sensors + Imaging 2025, a premier European event, is scheduled to take place from September 15 to 18, 2025, in Madrid, Spain. This event combines two renowned photonics conferences: SPIE Environmental Remote Sensing and SPIE Security + Defence. Attendees can expect to gain insights into the latest sensor and photonic technologies for imaging and monitoring the Earth’s atmosphere and environment, as well as technologies addressing homeland security, defence, and counterterrorism.

The exhibition component of the event is a highlight, offering a free two-day showcase of innovative technologies from detectors and sensors to lasers and imaging equipment. Visitors can engage directly with suppliers to discuss their sensing and imaging needs, aiming to solve problems, reduce costs, and enhance capabilities.

The call for papers is now open for this year's event. Researchers are encouraged to submit their abstracts to contribute to the symposia on environmental remote sensing and security + defence. These symposia cover a wide range of technical conference topics related to sensor and photonic technologies.

In addition to the conference sessions and exhibitions, attendees can stay connected through various resources provided by SPIE. These include access to research on the SPIE Digital Library and staying informed through email sign-ups for updates. The conference app also offers a convenient way for participants to manage their schedules and access information during the event.

Overall, SPIE Sensors + Imaging 2025 promises to be an enriching experience for professionals in the fields of environmental remote sensing and security + defence.
