Subject: Invitation to speak at the North American Core Shell Spectroscopy
     Conference


Dear Prof. Pickering:

The first "North American Core Shell Spectroscopy" conference will take place 
this year concomitantly with the Denver X-ray conference August 2-6, 2010.  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.
