The 2005 Cryogenic Engineering Conference and the International Cryogenic Materials Conference (CEC-ICMC) will be held at the Keystone Resort and Conference Center, Keystone Colorado from August 29 to September 2, 2005.

We will be celebrating the 50th year anniversary for the CEC and the 30th year anniversary for the ICMC. We are returning to Colorado for this event since it is where the CEC began as well as the site of the original combined conference.

The conference will begin a day early (Monday, August 29) with a special invited session reviewing the history of the conference and recalling some of the important scientific and engineering results of the past showing how they impact our thinking today.

In addition to the technical sessions which begin on Tuesday morning, we plan to have many social functions for conferees and their guests.

The Cryogenic Society of America will host special courses beginning on Sunday, August 28. The CEC-ICMC conference will end Friday, September 2, 2005 at noon in time to return home for the Labor Day weekend - or you can stay a few extra days and enjoy the mountains of Colorado.

We look forward to a superb technical conference and a celebration of its past achievements in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Hope to see you there.

DEFINITION:

cryogenic adj (1869) 1 a: of or relating to the production of very low temperatures b: being or relating to very low temperatures 2 a: requiring or involving the use of a cryogenic temperature b: requiring cryogenic storage c: suitable for storage of a cryogenic substance.

The Cryogenic Engineering Conference and the International Cryogenic Materials Conference (CEC-ICMC) are the premier international conferences for discussion and presentation of research pertaining to the production and application of low temperatures.

The Cryogenic Engineering Conference focuses on the science and engineering required for cryogenic applications. Examples of topics in past conferences include liquefied gases for fuels, space applications of cryogenic liquids, cooling and performance of superconducting magnet systems in medical, transportation, power, and basic research applications, as well as the systems, machinery, control technology and thermodynamics required to produce low temperatures.

The International Cryogenic Materials Conference focuses on the development, characterization, fabrication and optimization of the materials used in cryogenic applications. This is typically broken into two broad categories: structural materials and superconducting materials. ICMC contributions cover both high and low temperature superconducting materials, from basic materials research through behavior of composite cables and wires in applications. Cryogenic structural materials cover a broad range, including non-metallic composites, polymeric resins and insulation materials, ferrous alloys, nickel-base alloys, aluminum alloys, and specialized materials for advanced cryocooler applications.

Every other year, these two conferences join together to form the CEC-ICMC Joint Conference. In 2005, the meeting place will be Keystone, Colorado, USA. In 2007, the meeting will take place in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA.
