The 7th International Symposium on Advanced Optical Manufacturing and Testing Technology (AOMATT) was held 26-29 April 2014 at the Harbin International Conference Center, China. AOMATT 2014 was kicked off with a formal opening ceremony. The ceremony started with the introduction of VIP guests, symposium chairs, conference chairs, and plenary speakers, followed by opening speeches by Prof. Liwei Zhou, AOMATT 2014 Symposium Chairman, Prof. Bin Xu, Vice President of IOE, a sponsor of AOMATT 2014, and Prof. Yingchun Liang, Assistant President of Harbin Institute of Technology, a local co-sponsor of AOMATT 2014. Dr. H. Philip Stahl, 2014 President of SPIE, technical cosponsor of AOMATT 2014, could not attend the symposium this year due to a schedule conflict, but sent his congratulation letter. In his letter, Dr. Stahl gave high marks for AOMATT and stated: AOMATT is a very successful collaboration between SPIE, the Institute of Optics and Electronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Chinese Optical Society. It has become a well-known international symposium on advanced optical manufacturing and testing technologies. The vision of AOMATT is closely aligned with SPIE's mission to promote optics and photonics around the world.
