CIRCA 08 Information

AeA members joined global nanoelectronics and technology industry leaders by attending and sponsoring CIRCA 08, the second annual industry-leading conference on the convergence of international research and commercialization, held May 19-21, 2008 at the Gideon Putnam Hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York, and at the College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering's state-of-the-art, $4.2 billion Albany NanoTech Complex. Last year's inaugural two-day CIRCA 07 conference -- also co-hosted by AeA and the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering -- was a tremendous success with nearly 175 attendees and 30 speakers.

Those who arrived and stayed at the Gideon Putnam on the evening of May 18 attended a cocktail reception held in the Arches room at the hotel from 5:30 - 7:00 PM.
