We look forward to your participation at the 2010 German-America Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, to be held April 23-25, 2010, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
The symposium runs from Friday morning through Sunday lunch. In order to achieve the objectives of the program, we ask that you attend all sessions of the entire symposium. This meeting is unlike other meetings you may attend where it is possible to pick and choose the sessions in which you wish to participate. In addition to showing consideration toward all the speakers, who have worked hard preparing for this meeting, you will reap the maximum benefit from the symposium by participating fully in both the formal sessions and informal events over the course of the 2-1/2 day meeting. There is a welcome reception/registration on Thursday evening at the Doubletree Hotel Oak Ridge.
Posters: In addition to the technical talks given at the symposium, attendees will have an opportunity to present their work in an afternoon poster session on Friday, April 23. These posters will be displayed throughout the meeting and provide an opportunity for every participant to share information about his/her work. The material presented can be on posters, but could also include - particularly for those from industry - videos, demonstrations of devices, etc. (Please let us know in advance if you plan to use any sort of device.) Unfortunately, NAE does not have funding available to cover the cost of poster production. If this is a factor, the information can be presented on individual sheets of paper. Tacks will be provided. Display board dimensions are 48"x 48".
Tours: We will be providing technical tours of some of the labs at Oak Ridge National Laboratory on the afternoon of Saturday, April 24. Additional information about the tours will be given at a later date.
The meeting will be held at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It is served by McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) in Knoxville, which is about 25 miles away.
