International Vacuum Electronics Conference
Monterey, California May 18-20, 2010



Dear Colleagues,

The Eleventh International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC 2010) is returning to the picturesque city of Monterey, California on May 18-20, 2010. The meeting will be held at the Monterey Conference Center at the Portola Hotel and Spa under the sponsorship of the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS).

IVEC was originally created in 2000 by merging the US Power Tube Conference and the European Space Agency TWTA Workshop, and has now expanded to a fully international conference, being held every other year in the US, and in Europe and Asia alternately every fourth year. After Kitakyushu, Japan in 2007, Monterey, CA in 2008, and Rome, Italy in 2009, IVEC returns to Monterey, CA in 2010. Monterey is a spectacular coastal community in northern California with a temperate climate year-round. Visitors from around the world come to Monterey to experience its natural beauty, cultural resources and rich historic past.

Plenary talks will provide insights into the broad spectrum of scientific issues and applications that are driving the current directions in vacuum electronics research. Technical presentations will span the range from UHF to THz frequencies and will present current work in theory and computational tool development, active and passive components, systems, and supporting technologies.

Developers of systems will find that IVEC provides a unique snapshot into the current state-of-the-art in vacuum electronic devices. These devices continue to provide unmatched power and performance for advanced electromagnetic systems, particularly in the challenging frequency regimes of millimeter-wave and THz electronics.

We invite you to submit papers to IVEC to report on your work and experiences in vacuum electronics. The meeting will be configured to maximally disseminate useful information to device users, manufacturers, academics, and students. We encourage submission of papers from all groups.

A special IVEC Award for Excellence and a Student Paper Award will be granted at the conference. As in past conferences, the meeting and social events will provide a unique opportunity to renew or establish new friendships with colleagues, interact with customers and end-users, and meet students and academic researchers.

We hope to see you all at IVEC 2010.

Sincerely,
The IVEC 2010 Organizing Committee
