Welcome
Dear Colleagues:
At AAAR’s upcoming 26th Annual Conference, you can both present and learn about the latest advances in aerosol science. To be held September 24-28 in Reno, Nevada, the conference will follow the AAAR tradition of offering a high caliber technical program in a collegial and congenial setting.
Monday, September 24, will start things off with a menu of sixteen tutorials covering a range of aerosol topics. Whether you are relatively new to the field and seek introductory materials, or seek advanced information to expand your understanding of allied areas, the tutorials have something of interest to you. Each of the remaining four days (September 25-28) will begin with a plenary lecture followed by parallel technical sessions. We will continue to maintain a balance of platform and poster presentations. Three symposia have been programmed to focus on these topics: recent advances in our understanding of aerosol-cloud-climate interactions; insights into organic aerosol characteristics and dynamics as informed by advanced measurement techniques; and ground-breaking innovations in medicinal aerosols for pulmonary and nasal drug delivery. The exhibition area, open Monday through Thursday, offers a wonderful opportunity to learn directly from over 25 vendors about their wares in the rapidly advancing areas of aerosol measurement and engineering services.
This year's conference will be held at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno. The Grand Sierra offers numerous and novel onsite dining and entertainment options, such as an aqua golf driving range where you can test your skills at lofting balls onto islands. Reno, known as the “The Biggest Little City in the World”, offers arts and cultural activities in a casual setting. It is also the eastern gateway to the Lake Tahoe area, with numerous opportunities for outdoor adventures. Consider spending the weekend before or after the conference exploring this stunning natural playground.
We look forward to your participation and ask you to please encourage your colleagues to join us in Reno.
Best Regards,
Jay Turner
Conference Chair
