AVS 58th International Symposium and Exhibition

Symposium & Exhibition

Nashville Convention Center, Nashville, Tennesse - October 30 to November 4, 2011

Physical Electronics continues to be a proud Corporate Sponsor of AVS and is supporting the 58th International Symposium and Exhibition (AVS-58) as a Platinum Level Sponsor. The Symposium is a week-long forum for science and technology exchange featuring papers from technical divisions and technology groups, and topical conferences on emerging technologies. The equipment exhibition provides an excellent opportunity to view the latest products and services offered by over 200 participating companies. More than 3,000 scientists and engineers gather from around the world to attend.

Members of our technical and sales staff will be present at our booths in the Exhibition Hall and participating in the technical sessions. Visit PHI at booths 300 and 400 to see the latest innovations in our XPS, AES, and SIMS systems.

PHI’s participation in the technical sessions includes many contributed talks throughout the AVS-58 conference. We hope you will have the opportunity to attend these presentations to learn about some of the latest developments at PHI. PHI Talks include:
