20th Annual International Light Scattering Colloquium

Wyatt's 2009 ILSC will be held on October 19-20, 2009 and will return back to the exclusive Four Seasons Biltmore Resort in Santa Barbara, CA. Our agenda this year will focus on speakers and posters where dynamic light scattering from the DynaPro product line, in addition to our own classical light scattering (DAWN and miniDAWN), viscometry (ViscoStar), and Eclipse AFFF products were utilized.

We wanted to share some photos of the event for those of you who were there, as well as with those who weren't.  

2009 International Light Scattering Colloquium

The registration for the 2-day Colloquium is $895 per person (less $100 if you present a poster!) and includes two lunches, the gala dinner on Monday night, the Forum binder, Compact Disc of the proceedings, as well as a variety of novelties-edible and not! A list of recommended hotels that provide special Colloquium rates will be sent upon request. Our Plenary Speakers as of date are:
