Sponsorship Opportunities
The 77th Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) will be held September 30 – October 4, 2024 at the DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego Mission Valley, San Diego, CA, USA, with workshops/tutorials on Monday and the scientific program held Tuesday through Friday. The 2024 GEC will continue its tradition of offering a truly outstanding venue for presentation of leading research in low temperature plasma science and collision physics.
The GEC focus is on the physics and chemistry of low-temperature plasmas and their interaction with surfaces via particle bombardment and radiation as well as the physics of atomic and molecular collision processes that underlie these phenomena.
The GEC audience is made up of world elite experts in low-temperature plasma science: 35% graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, 35 % university faculty members, 15 % industrial researchers, and 15 % national laboratory researchers. Unique connections between fundamental science and applications are made at this conference.
Presentation formats include contributed, invited, and plenary talks, posters and exhibitions. In combination with coffee breaks, a reception, luncheon, and a banquet these events provide unique opportunities for technical discussions, networking, and recruitment.
Information on sponsorship opportunities can be found in the GEC sponsorship brochure. For questions on sponsorship / exhibit booths and if you would like to become a GEC 2024 sponsor, please contact Julian Schulze (schulze@apsgec.org).
