  10. ICOPS/SOFEMini Course Fundamentals of Plasma Material Interactions for Various Applications Organizer: Jean Paul Allain (Purdue University) * Not yet confirmed

  11. Key Personnel

  12. Registration and Abstract Submission • TDMG or IEEE MCM to handle registration? • Bo Yu’s Software • Audio-Visual provided by Anthony Lavietes • Cyber café will be provided in Prairie Center Lobby • 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

  13. SOFE Banquet Adler Planetarium

  14. Shared ICOPS/SOFE Approved Budget • Banquet cost ($40) is based on the price at the Odyssey ship - $165 per person and Planetarium of similar expenses. Total of 400 tickets. • The tax and service charge - 12.198% tax, 22% service charge– are based on contract withHyatt Regency McCormick Place.Chicago has one of the highest large-city sales tax rate - 10.25 %. • The registration fees may have to be slightly increased depending on success of fund raising & support. • The corporate support is anticipated to increase to help achieve the 15% anticipated profit • SOFE received $10K from PPPL and $5K from the Korean DA of ITER. Presently have requests into the ITER IO, all of the ITER DAs, many other national labs, DOE, etc. plus various corporate entities. • NPSS help with MCM costs would be appreciated.

  15. SOFE2011 Technical Program Topics (B. Nelson) • Experimental Devices • ITER • Fusion Development Path • Divertors, First Wall, Blankets, Shields and Chambers • Plasma Fueling and Exhaust Processing • Plasma Heating and Current Drive • Magnets and Power Supplies • IFE Drivers and Related Technologies • Diagnostics, Data Acquisition, Plasma Control and Protection • Materials, Fabrication, Assembly, Remote Handling and Maintenance • Safety and Environmental Engineering • Systems Engineering, Project Management and Lessons Learned

  16. 25th SOFE (W. Meier) • General Chair: Wayne Meier, LLNL • Program Chair: Hutch Neilson, PPPL • Date: June 23-27, 2013 • Meeting has been entered on IEEE Calendar (Conference # 17522). • Notification of IEEE Conference Insurance has been received. • IEEE Meeting & Conference Management is handling negotiations for hotel site. • - First choice hotel: Hyatt Regency Embarcadaro, San Francisco, but initial response was they would not commit to our desired dates (Sunday reception with M-Th meeting).
