RMS - mmc2017 Registration now Open
Jan 27 2017
Set to be the largest yet in the Microscience Microscopy Congress Series, mmc2017 is going to be an event you can’t afford to miss. From 3 - 6 July, the microscopy community will once again head to Manchester, UK for the latest event in the mmc-series. As in previous years, mmc2017 will combine a busy and varied scientific conference, a huge exhibition of over 100 companies and a wide range of additional free training opportunities.
Joining some of the field’s most popular meetings, mmc2017 will incorporate EMAG 2017, the Scanning Probe Microscopy and Frontiers in Bioimaging meetings and for the first time, the Microscopy Society of Ireland and Scottish Microscopy Group symposiums. This great combination means that the scientific programme spans labelling for super-resolution microscopy, to energy and energy storage materials, to structures, interfaces and mechanics in life and health with AFM. This in turn allows for networking and discussion with peers in your field as well as with colleagues working in a similar, complementary discipline.
As well as the meetings making up the conference, a number of additional free meetings will be taking place throughout the four day congress including a cross disciplinary meeting, the FIB & EM Prep User Group Meeting and a NEUBIAS Bioimage Analyst Community Meeting.
The huge mmc2017 exhibition running alongside the busy conference will house over 100 microscopy and imaging companies from the leading names to smaller start-up companies, with equipment and specialists on hand to offer advice and demonstrations.
The exhibition will also be home to the poster village which will host daily poster sessions, allowing you to meet over 200 scientists and discuss current, cutting-edge research.
To really enhance your mmc2017 experience, be sure to visit the four commercial workshop areas and the Learning Zone, each with their own daily programme of short seminars. The commercial workshops will be presented by industry specialists offering tips, tricks and advice on the most popular hardware and software, as well as insights into some of the newest equipment on the market.
The Learning Zone is an area unique to the mmc-series where a number of different instruments are available to try, with experts on hand to offer demonstrations and answer questions specific to your area of work. Its daily seminars will offer introductory talks in a range of techniques such as TEM and digital microscopy which can then be put into practice on the equipment in the zone.
mmc2017 has so much to offer, making it one of the year’s largest microscopy and imaging events. If you use a microscope in your line of work, you should join us in Manchester from 3 - 6 July.
