Energy Nano Conference Features Business Plan
Competition (7/16/07)
ASME's Second Energy Nanotechnology
International Conference, to be held Sept. 5–7 in Santa Clara,
Calif., will feature a Business Plan Competition. The deadline to
enter the competition is July 23.
This unique conference, to take place at Santa Clara University,
will focus on the state-of-the-art research and development in energy-related
materials, nanoscale phenomena, devices, systems, manufacturing,
and commercialization.
If you have an entrepreneurial idea that you believe has real market
potential, be sure to enter the Business Plan Competition at the
conference. Your idea should be related to one of the following
energy-related fields: solar, biofuels and carbon-neutral technologies,
direct thermal energy conversion and harvesting, electrochemical
conversion and storage, hydrogen, fossil fuels, or materials/manufacturing.

In addition to the Business Plan Competition, the conference will
also consist of plenary talks, invited talks, contributed oral and
poster presentations, and exhibitions. It will provide opportunities
for communication and collaboration among industry, academia, and
venture capital organizations.
Before July 31, conference registration is $575 for ASME members,
$625 for nonmembers, $250 for nonmember students, and $225 for ASME
student members. Beginning Aug. 1, registration will cost an additional
$50 in each category with the exception of ASME student members,
who will be charged an additional $25.

Nano Bootcamp to be Co-located with Energy Nano
Conference
The Fifth ASME Nano Training Bootcamp
will also take place Sept. 5–7 at Santa Clara University in
Santa Clara, Calif. Led by experts in academia and industry, the
Nano Bootcamp will provide intense sessions on fundamentals, fabrication,
characterization and materials, and devices.
The Nano Bootcamp was specifically organized to offer a detailed
and tutorial-based account of advances in fundamentals related to
nanoscience in a wide variety of fields, as well as prospects for
translating these advances into useful nanotechnologies.
In addition, several special interest topics will be highlighted
at a joint plenary session, which will include attendees from the
Energy Nanotechnology Conference also being held at the university.
A lab practical will be hosted at Stanford University.
If you register for the Nano Bootcamp before Aug. 1, you will receive
a complimentary copy of the Energy Nanotechnology International
Conference.
Registration for the Bootcamp is $1,495 for ASME members, $1,595
for members of other professional societies, and $1,995 for the
general audience. Attendees from government agencies may register
for $995. Students may register for $595.

ASME.ORG now available in Spanish and Chinese
Spanish- and Chinese-speaking visitors
to ASME.ORG can now receive their respective language translations
by clicking on the national flag of either Spain or China located
at the top right side of the homepage (www.asme.org).
"The new auto translator on the ASME Web site supports the
Society's outreach and commitment to the international engineering
community, which is a key to expanding our initiatives aimed at
global markets," said Sam Y. Zamrik, president of ASME. "We
will be adding other language translations, including French, Russian,
Japanese, and Arabic as ASME develops the Web site to better serve
its global members and customers."
The online content in Spanish and Chinese replicates the English
version. ASME.ORG provides portals to an array of engineering knowledge,
including information on technical publications, conferences, codes
and standards, continuing education opportunities, and other programs
of value to the engineering and technology community.
