2nd Vacuum Symposium UK
Ricoh Arena, Coventry,
18th - 19th October 2011
Introduction
For some time the UK vacuum community has called for an annual national meeting incorporating both technical and commercial elements. Following the successful VS-1 meeting held at Daresbury in February 2010, we wanted to build upon this foundation to provide something for everyone in our unique community: including FREE training seminars for new vacuum users, technical talks for the more experienced vacuum user and a vacuum equipment exhibition for everyone.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce that the VS-2 meeting will be held at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on 18/19 October 2011 to coincide with Vacuum Expo 2011 – a vacuum manufacturers exhibition that is held in conjunction with Photonex 2011 (Light & Imaging Technology) with ‘cross over’ to Thin Film technology. The format of the meeting will be different to that originally scheduled to take place at Diamond / RAL in March.
