The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition have been developed to provide cutting-edge content over a very broad range of diverse yet complementary topics.”

The Symposium is a week long forum for science and technology exchange featuring papers from technical divisions and technology groups, and topical conferences on emerging technologies. The equipment exhibition is one of the largest in the world and provides an excellent opportunity to view the latest products and services offered by over 200 participating companies. More than 3,000 scientists and engineers gather from around the world to attend.

Short courses are offered in conjunction with the International Symposium providing specialized training in specific areas of vacuum science and related technologies. A Career Workshop and Job Center are also offered to all attendees. The Workshop covers such topics as résumé preparation, job search skills, networking, interviewing skills, and more. The Job Center provides the opportunity for job seekers to submit their résumés and meet with potential employers.

 

Registered AVS 57 attendees are invited to visit the exhibit which comprises an extensive display of tools, equipment, services and consulting for film deposition, surface and interface measurements and analysis, materials, chemicals, supplies, vacuum production and measurement, and related instrumentation for surface, interface and film measurements, as well as professional literature and publications in these topics. 

In addition, consultants, engineers, biologists, chemists, physicists, purchasing professionals, scientists, students, technicians, and exhibitor staff working or studying in the fields of applied surface science, biomaterial interfaces, electronic materials and processing, magnetic interfaces, manufacturing science, MEMS/NEMS, nanoscience, thin film, plasma science, surface science, or vacuum technology are welcome to register for FREE.

If you are interested in: •fundamental materials science, •materials characterization, •interfacial phenomena, •materials applications in energy, surface engineering, micro/nano-electronics, •nano-science and technology, •materials processing and equipment, •MEMS/NEMS processing and applications,... you can find it, and much more, in this year’s technical program. Just take a look at the “Technical Program at a Glance” and you are bound to immediately find “must see” sessions every day of the week.
