Help us help you work from home

April 13, 2020

Right now, there’s a good chance you and/or colleagues and customers are working from home. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need the information you normally would receive face to face. So we want you tell us how we can help.

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has severely affected the travel plans of many professionals in the optical networking field. Attendance at OFC 2020 was significantly curtailed, and several other events in the space have either been cancelled or postponed. And right now, there’s a good chance you – and/or your colleagues, your partners, and/or your customers – are working from home for the foreseeable future.

But that doesn’t mean you don’t need the information you normally would receive at live events and from other sources. And we at Lightwave, alongside our sister sites, want to help by providing you with the information you need in the form you want via our online platforms.

So we've created a very short -- three questions! -- survey to help us shape our approach. If you have a few spare minutes (perhaps five minutes, tops), please help us to help you. All responses are anonymous. Thanks!

Take the survey.
