INTRODUCTION
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the program committee, I am pleased to welcome you to Melbourne, Australia, for the
2015 International Beam Instrumentation Conference IBIC 2015. IBIC is a fruitful and successful
gathering of the world's beam instrumentation community and it reflects the maturity of
international collaboration in the field of beam instrumentation for accelerators.
IBIC is dedicated to exploring the physics and engineering challenges of beam diagnostic and
measurement techniques for charged particle accelerators worldwide. The conference program will
include tutorials on selected topics, invited and selected talks, as well as poster sessions. An
industrial exhibition and a tour of the accelerator facilities at the Australian Synchrotron will also be
included.
Melbourne is located in the southern state of Victoria, Australia, with a population of 4.2 million
people. It is a major research hub with 9 universities, 7 teaching hospitals and 263 biotech
companies. The venue of IBIC 2015 is the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, located on
the Yarra River in the heart of the city - the same location the discovery of the Higgs particle was
announced at ICHEP 2012.
The conference will feature an industrial exhibition interwoven with the poster presentations from
the delegates, providing the ideal environment to network, share ideas and discover the activities
and needs that are shaping the field of beam diagnostics globally. In addition to exhibition booths
there are several sponsorship opportunities which will allow your company to stand out of the
crowd during the conference, including supporting students and advertising during refreshment
breaks, see this brochure for more details.
We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne.
