Welcome / General Information
WELCOME
On behalf of the IVEC 2010 Program Committee and the Electron Devices Society (EDS) Technical Committee on Vacuum Electronics, I would like to welcome you to the 11th IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC 2010). IVEC was created in 2000 by merging the US Power Tube Conference and the European Space Agency TWTA Workshop, and has expanded to a fully international conference. It is held every other year in the US, and in Europe and Asia, alternately, every fourth year. The conference focuses on vacuum electron devices and their applications. This year’s meeting, sponsored by the IEEE EDS, will be at the Portola Hotel and Spa in the picturesque city of Monterey, California.
The Conference Committee has organized an interesting and rewarding program. The conference will open Tuesday morning, May 18, with a Plenary Session consisting of excellent speakers providing insights into a broad spectrum of scientific issues and applications driving vacuum electronics research. This will be followed by two and a half days of technical oral and poster presentations. The IVEC Award for Excellence and the IVEC Student Paper Award will be presented at the conference banquet at the Portola Hotel and Spa on Wednesday evening. As a special event this year, the banquet entertainment will feature talent from our own IVEC community.
This conference has been arranged to enhance the presentation and discussion of useful information to manufacturers, device users, academics, and students. Traditionally, the conference attracts a diverse group of attendees. During the meeting and social events, please take the time to reacquaint yourself with friends and colleagues, establish new relationships, and interact with the students.
The conference Web site (https://ivec2010.org) is a valuable source of information, and will continue to serve as a clearinghouse for news and other IVEC-related information after the conference.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the IVEC Committee Members for their help and support, especially Will Menninger, our Technical Program Chair, and Ralph Nadell of Palisades Convention Management for doing an excellent job with the conference coordination. I would also like to thank our corporate and government financial contributors for their support, as well as the presenters, and exhibitors for their participation. Finally, I would like to thank several members of our community for sharing their musical talents at the conference banquet. I am confident that IVEC 2010 will be a conference to remember.
