The GO2S 26 Fiber Optic Sensing CONFERENCE
LYON- February 4-5 2026
A dynamic conference and exhibition striking the perfect balance between Research and Industry—bringing together users, decision-makers, scientists, and businesses to explore and exchange on the emerging uses of optical fiber as a sensor.
“Fiber with a sixth sense”.
The GO2S® (Guided Optics & Sensor Systems) conferences bring together key players in fiber optics, particularly sensor applications. Following the success of the Paris (2019), Lyon (2020), Bordeaux (2022) , Lyon (2024), the 2026 edition will be held again in Lyon, at the Hôtel de la Région, co-organized by the Hubert Curien Laboratory and the ARUFOG association.
The GO2S initiative created in 2008 by André Champavere, then president of the ARUFOG Association (Association for the Research and Uses of Fiber Optics and Guided optics) focuses on the use of optical fiber as sensor or sensor network. Whether deployed in smart buildings, the city of the future or in smart territories or even embedded in mobile systems, fiber optics can extend its use by exploiting the multiple possibilities in sensor mode.

The synergies at the technology level and the deployment of these technologies between the field of Telecom data transmission and the field of Sensors are at the origin of the GO2S® initiative. Fiber optic cables laid across cities, regions, countries, and under the sea are getting a lot of attention because they can be used as sensors—for example, to detect earthquakes or improve network security.
They strongly contribute to the specificity of these conferences. Since its creation in 1986, ARUFOG maintains within the association a balance between the academic world and the industrial world in order to bring out new uses of optical fiber, as in the case of the GO2S® project.
GO2S® conferences are an opportunity for exchanges between laboratories, suppliers of fiber optic technologies and systems and current or potential users of these optical fiber sensor systems. The GO2S® conferences are also the occasion of an exhibition of materials and demonstration.
