Measuring by light

Measuring By Light (MBL) is an international platform that connects academia, industry and researchers working with optical and non-contact measurement technologies.
Since 2013, MBL has grown beyond a single conference into a collaborative framework that supports, hosts and inspires a wide range of events: from full conferences to highly focused technical workshops, live demonstrations and partner-driven side-events.

What Measuring By Light Stands For

At its core, MBL is built around three pillars:

1. Knowledge Exchange

We bring experts together to share insights into optical measurement technologies — including vibration analysis, microstructure testing, ultrasonics, data acquisition and cutting-edge metrology.

2. Community

MBL creates an environment where people can meet, discuss challenges, explore solutions and build meaningful connections across disciplines.

3. Partner Events

Beyond our flagship conferences, we also support external initiatives, side-events and technical meetings, helping partners shape high-level programmes that fit the MBL standards.

Our vision for the future

Measuring By Light aims to become the central reference point for optical and non-contact measurement in Europe.
Our long-term vision includes:

  • Supporting more partner-led events under the MBL umbrella
  • Expanding the community with researchers, engineers and industry leaders
  • Creating high-quality learning experiences across different formats
  • Strengthening international collaboration in optical measurement
  • Offering a recognisable label that guarantees technical depth and professional value
  • Building a sustainable ecosystem where knowledge from each event contributes to continuous improvement and new initiatives
