Other Quantum Conferences
We must mention that the list of quantum computing conferences we have collated only highlights those conferences that are targeted towards industry rather than events that are focused more so on the academic and research side of quantum technology. Just so we haven’t left them out, we will list some of the more technical quantum conferences below.
- The Optical Fiber Conference (OFC), March 5–9, 2023 in San Diego, California.
- The American Physical Society’s March meeting, is an in-person event on March 5–10, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Conclusion
2023 is sure to be an exciting year for quantum tech. As the number of quantum computing conferences grows — both with a commercial or technical/academic bent— so will the awareness of the technology to the wider audience.
Panel discussion at Quantum Beach 2022
As already mentioned, The Quantum Insider plans on attending as many of these as possible, as we see it as an important step in our strategy to develop industry and academic partnerships in all areas of the space. And quantum computing conferences, we have to add, are an excellent way to do this.
