The 23rd Particle Accelerator Conference came to a close at 4:45 pm Friday 8th May with concluding remarks from PAC09 LOC chairman Yuri Bylinsky and a pre-recorded farewell from conference chairman Paul Schmor. |
| By any measure, this was an outstanding conference as the following statistics demonstrate: |
| 1309 participants, 74 industrial exhibits, 147 students, 197 orals, 1625 posters, 23 satellite meetings. What the statistics cannot capture was the vitality of the meeting: the standing-room-only orals sessions, the enthusiastic and energetic poster sessions, the myriad conversations. Behind the scenes the proceedings office toiled away to produce the permanent conference record formed of papers and speakers slides. By Friday all 1545 of the received contributions had begun processing, and of these 1329 were completed and ready for the final Quality Assurance stage. We owe the proceedings team a vote of thanks. The conference organizers wish also to express their thanks to the speakers, the session chairmen and the delegates for making PAC'09 a resounding success. |
|
| Finally, we wish similar good fortune to the three following conferences: PAC'11 the next in the continuing North American series, to be hosted by Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York City, the IPAC'10 in Kyoto Japan, the first of the 3-year international cycle, and the IPAC'11 in San Sabastien Spain. |
Good luck and good bye, Adiós y buena suerte. |
