This meeting will focus on market-driven
needs in precision engineering and manufacturing. Representatives of individual
market sectors (including both technology consumers and providers) will
present their visions of future needs in precision engineering and precision
manufacturing. The meeting program will be formatted to include both summary
analyses and predictions from recognized experts in precision engineering
and manufacturing (including both market needs and emerging capabilities),
and small group discussions focusing on specific technology areas. Application-specific
break-out sessions will include short presentations, guided discussions,
and opportunities for group recommendations on future industry direction.
The ultimate goal of the Symposium is to establish and quantify market-driven needs in precision manufacturing, and, with input from expert service providers, to generate technology roadmaps that will meet industry demands. Specialists and practitioners from industry, government and academia are encouraged to attend. The meeting will be structured to allow participants to identify areas needing further research. Application areas of interest will include (but are not limited to) the application of precision engineering/manufacturing technologies to: • Energy, Environment and Sustainability The meeting will be held in Vermont’s “Precision Valley,” birthplace of precision manufacturing in the US. In addition to the meeting, tours of local precision-focused organizations will be included — OPI’s facility in White River Junction, the American Precision Museum in Windsor, and both AMETEK – Precitech, Inc. and Moore Nanotechnology Systems, LLC in Keene, NH. The 2008 Summer Topical Meeting is structured with significant open time to allow for technical and social interactions. Speakers must produce a 4 to 6 page abstract for the conference PROCEEDINGS. Registration will be limited to 75 participants Submission Deadlines June 20, 2008 Final deadline for submission of 400-500 word abstract to ASPE Headquarters. June 30, 2008 Notification of results of the selection committee to all authors submitting abstracts. July 21, 2008 Extended 4-6 page abstract due at ASPE Headquarters to be included in the conference PROCEEDINGS. Hotel Information Lake Morey Resort, Fairlee, VT Set on a pristine lake surrounded by green hills, the Resort provides a beautiful natural setting yet still offers all the best features of any full-service resort. The list of activities starts with our 18 holes of championship golf on one side of the hotel, and a beautiful lake on the other. At night you'll hear the call of the loons across the lake and feel like you can reach out and touch the stars--all without having to "rough it." The only thing that could compete with the beautiful lake views from our main dining room is the creative new American cuisine from the chef. As the sun sets between the hills and its final rays glint off the lake, diners enjoy meals crafted with care from the freshest ingredients, highlighting local Vermont produce when in season in a comfortably formal environment. On the second floor of the Resort the Steamboat Lounge also offers a wonderful view of the lake. After dining, feel free to enjoy some of Vermont's finest entertainment. The lounge offers both a spacious area for dancing as well as cozy candle-lit tables. From blues to jazz to good ol' rock & roll, there will be a great selection of performers to make the evening enjoyable.
