JDubski refers to the OFC Conference upcoming.  9 days ago I posted a PR about the OFC over on Yahoo Financials POET message board:

"POET Technologies to Participate at OFC 2022

Press Release | 02/01/2022
TORONTO, Feb. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer™ and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, today announced the Company’s planned participation at the upcoming 2022 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC), being held in San Diego, California on March 6 – 10.

OFC is the world’s largest conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals. This year’s premier event will bring together manufacturers, developers, end users and other business and technology leaders from 60+ countries seeking the future direction of the industry. POET will be exhibiting live in Booth 5301 in Hall B2 of the San Diego Convention Center and hosting a Gold-level sponsored virtual booth as well as showcasing in-person the Company’s latest news, products and technology demonstrations."________________________________________________________________________

The OFC is a BIG Deal!  POET will be able to crow a little louder at the OFC this year since it was able to break out of the confines of its NDA with at least one important company and announce the name:  Celestial Ai (which is partnered with Broadcom).

This is definitely a step in the right direction ( right as in "Up and to the RIght" ), but my own belief is that we have not lit the Roman Candle just yet.  Even with these developments the average retail investor has never heard of POET and the average Industrial Investor isn't much more enlightened.... yet.  I remain quite optimistic over the long haul regarding POET, but we have a ways to go.  For investors looking for "getting in on the ground floor" type of investment opportunities I believe that POET offers such an opportunity still, but that is only an opinion.  My hope is that other non techie retail investors and, especially, industrial investors will avail themselves of the present situation by doing the necessary Due Diligence into this very small Canadian company and then make the best decision for their own investing future.  I can't stress enough that the Agoracom POET Hub is the place to go for anyone seeking information about this company.  They have had a lot of clashed egos over there on that Hub in the not to distant past and it has accelerated at times to the point of unseemliness, but if you sift through all of that garbage and stay with the the posts that maintain focus on the company and the companies technology then you will receive quite an education about POET. Don't waste time on the posts that have more to do with the ego of the poster than with the subject of POET and you will be truly surprised at the level of discourse about this company.  

It is difficult to appreciate the most technical posts over there unless you have a background in the technology, but there are many who post there who take the time and effort to explain it to the rest of us and it is those posts that I have found to be most valuable.
