A Little About the Conference

OMN 2026 will take place at the Hôtel Sacacomie in Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, Québec, Canada. Nestled between forest and lake, the multi-acre property offers a breathtaking natural setting where comfort meets tranquility. Its warm log-cabin charm, panoramic views, and amenities create an inspîring atmosphere for science, relaxation and collegiality.

Selection Process

Abstracts will be reviewed by the conference scientific committee, which is composed of experts selected for their demonstrated knowledge of specific topics. Authors will be notified of the results of the review process by email.

If a paper is accepted, it will be assigned to either a lecture session or a poster session. The author's request for the presentation format is taken into consideration, but the final decision rests with the Scientific Committee.

Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors in person at the conference, according to the published schedule. At least one of the authors must register for the conference before the author registration deadline. Failure to do so will result in the automatic withdrawal of the paper from BOTH the conference program and proceedings on IEEE Xplore.

How to Proceed

Abstracts must be submitted according to the template below to ensure abstracts will be readable through the online review system and adhere to IEEE publication policies;
Oral: Oral presentations will last 15 minutes, including 3 minutes for questions. Spaces are limited. Those who are not successful in securing an oral presentation may be offered to present their abstract in a poster format.
Poster: Presenters will be asked to be available to answer questions during a dedicated poster viewing time (onsite).
Each author may submit up to (3) three abstracts. The presenting author (underlined) must be registered for the conference in order for the abstract to be accepted and be allowed to give the oral presentation or to present the poster. A maximum of (2) two presentations per registration will be allowed.

Abstract Requirements

Abstracts may be no longer than 2 pages, including all text, figures, and references. Please note that after the submission deadline the list and the order of the authors cannot be modified, and must remain unchanged in the final version of the manuscript.

File Size Limit
Authors are permitted to submit files up to 3 MB.

Writing Language
English is the official language of the conference. As a result, all papers must be entirely submitted and presented in English.

List of Authors
The authors' name(s) and affiliation(s) appear below the title in capital and lowercase letters. Photonics North does not perform blind reviews, so be sure to include the author list in your submitted paper. Papers with multiple authors and affiliations may require two or more lines for this information. The order of the authors on the document should exactly match in number and order the authors typed into the online submission form.

Authors must submit their abstract online through the abstract submission system:

Step One: Once your abstract is written according to the instructions given in the template, click on the “Submit your abstract” link at the bottom of this page. This will take you to a specific “Abstract submission” page: follow the instructions on this page.
Step Two: You will receive an automated email to confirm that we have received your abstract. Follow the instructions in this email and the link that will enable you to access your file and author entry forms at any time before the abstract submission deadline. The secretariat will process your request and send you an official confirmation email when your submission is validated. If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact infos@omn2026.org
Step Three: Following this process, the scientific committee will review your abstract and inform you whether or not it is accepted, in which session, with or without modifications, and as an oral presentation (onsite) or a poster (onsite).
