2005 NSLS Users' Meeting

Agenda

The annual NSLS Users' Meeting and Workshops are hosted and sponsored by the National Synchrotron Light Source Users' Association, an external organization representing the users of the NSLS. The annual meeting and workshops are supported primarily by registration fees paid by the participants. Social events, lunches and coffee are provided to registered attendees, compliments of our vendors and sponsors.

The Users' Executive Committee (UEC), the association's elected body, cordially invites all BNL employees to attend Tuesday's Early Morning Plenary Session, free of charge. All other sessions are dedicated to scientific talks and require registration. BNL employees and guests are warmly invited to register for these sessions, the workshops and other events (fees are required).
