We are organizing this conference to provide an opportunity for researchers in North America to gather and present their research in years when there is no International XAFS Conference. One of the major goals is to have a high degree of participation from students and postdoctoral scientists in both the oral and poster sessions. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to give a talk at one of our sessions. Since we are leaving the logistical organization of this conference to the ICDD Conference Staff, we can offer the same reduced registration fee that is provided to the Denver X-ray Conference invited speakers. The plans for the conference include a symposium in honor of Ed Stern on Tuesday, August 3, a poster session and a series of oral sessions running concurrently with the Denver X-ray Conference sessions. We hope that you can accept this invitation, and look forward to seeing you in Denver. Sincerely yours, Carlo Segre, for The Organizing committee. -- Carlo U.
