?? SVC Partners with IUVSTA ????
If you’re a member and subscribed to our newsletters, you likely caught the exciting news from our email sent on October 14. ?? SVC is officially partnering with IUVSTA! But if you missed it, don’t worry - you can still check out the full announcement in the IUVSTA NEWS FLASH for October 2024. ??
For those familiar with vacuum technology, you already know that IUVSTA (International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique, and Applications) is a global union of national vacuum societies, focused on advancing vacuum science and its applications. This partnership brings together two powerhouse organizations to deliver a groundbreaking event.
Explore the Future of Laser Technology ??
This October, we’re thrilled to announce the upcoming 106th IUVSTA Workshop on Laser Patterning and Surface Modification for Bioengineering, Energy, and Optoelectronics Applications.
If you're working in bioengineering, energy, or optoelectronics and are excited about laser technology’s potential, this workshop is designed just for you! ??
Taking place ?? February 17-20, 2025, in Golden, Colorado, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to engage with leading experts, exchange ideas, and witness the latest breakthroughs in laser-based materials processing - all against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. ????
Why This Workshop is a Must-Attend ??
Ready to elevate your work? Here’s why you should mark your calendar for this workshop:
Gain insights from 11 internationally recognized leaders in laser technologies who are pioneering advancements across bioengineering, energy, and more.
Present your research and receive immediate feedback from top experts and peers in the field.
Connect with fellow innovators and researchers in a focused, intimate setting designed for meaningful discussions and collaborations.
Explore cutting-edge facilities like the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Colorado School of Mines, where you’ll see laser processing technologies in action. ????
Why ??? Workshops Are Different (And Why They’re Awesome) ??
While both workshops and conferences offer valuable experiences, workshops like this one provide a more focused, interactive learning environment.
Why Choose a ??? Workshop? ?
Smaller groups mean closer interaction with experts and more opportunities for hands-on learning.
Workshops emphasize problem-solving and deep discussions, making them ideal for building long-term professional relationships.
With tutorials and interactive sessions, workshops give you real-world knowledge that you can immediately apply to your work.
??? Considerations ?
Workshops are more specialized, so they may not cover the broader range of topics you’d find at a conference.
Fewer participants can mean fewer networking opportunities compared to large conferences.
How Do ??? Conferences Compare? ??
Because we recognize the unique value of both workshops and conferences, we proudly feature this workshop on our yearly TechCon website, allowing you to choose between them and find what best suits your needs. And as a bonus, attendees of the IUVSTA workshop are eligible for a 25% discount on registration for the 2025 SVC TechCon! Whether you prefer the focused, interactive environment of a workshop or the broader scope and networking opportunities of a conference, you can attend both and make the most of these opportunities! ???
??? Conference Benefits ?
Conferences often cover a wide range of topics, offering a comprehensive view of the field.
Larger attendance means more people to meet, more ideas to explore, and a wider professional network.
??? Conference Drawbacks ?
It’s harder to engage in one-on-one discussions with keynote speakers or experts at big conferences.
With so many sessions and attendees, conferences can feel a bit chaotic, making it tough to make meaningful connections.
