| Planning
is proceeding for the 2009 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical
Imaging Conference which will be held from October 25 – 31
in Orlando, Florida at the Hilton located in Walt Disney World.
As ever, the meeting offers a great opportunity to meet old friends
and colleagues, and to make new ones from different parts of the
world. We will exchange new knowledge and ideas in nuclear science
and medical imaging.
The Hilton is located adjacent to Disney World and the facilities
of Disney World are easily reached from the hotel. The NSS/MIC will
have the entire hotel for our meeting. Attendees will have all the
features of a first class hotel along with the opportunity to visit
Disney World.
The Organizing Committee plans to make this a truly joint conference
which will encourage attendees to participate in both parts of the
meeting. In addition, we are planning a variety of short courses
before the meeting, several workshops and special sessions to acquaint
attendees with reviews of current state-of-the-art in technologies.
There will also be self-contained sessions and workshops on subjects
such as computing beyond the LHC, nuclear forensics, nuclear techniques
in the well-logging industry, and the use of graphic processing
units for high speed computing.
Companion tours will include several short trips in the Orlando
area and a visit to the NASA Space Center at Cape Kennedy. The current
launch schedule for 2009 is not firmly fixed, but there are potential
spacecraft launches in the late October time frame. Of course, there
is also the entire Disney World site for both individual and organized
exploration.
This location not only will provide an excellent venue for our professional
meeting, but also is an ideal location for attendees who can bring
their families.
