Published on September 2, 2019

Aachen provided a wonderful backdrop to a great and productive conference. From the opening reception at the Forum M in the center of town, to the keynotes by Martina Ziefle and Jan Borchers, to a wonderful reception at Aachen’s Great Hall, our hosts provided us with a great environment in which to listen, discuss, and network.
There were too many great talks to highlight them all, but the proceedings are now available to all of our members, and you can see pictures from a sampling of them below.
