Welcome
The 15th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC’24) will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, USA from 19 to 24 May 2024 at the Music City Center.At IPAC’24, you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with Accelerator Scientists, Engineers, Students and Vendors while experiencing the charm and culturally diverse and friendly environment hospitality of the Music City.
IPAC is the most important international event for the worldwide particle accelerator field and industry. The IPAC’24 edition is sponsored, financially and technically, by the IEEE Nuclear Plasma Science Society(NPSS) and the American Physical Society (APS) Division of Physics of Beams (DPB) and co-hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
Pioneering research and development in accelerator technologies will be presented by global experts. Project leaders will present new accelerator projects, progress on active upgrades and operational status of accelerator facilities across the globe. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet their peers and to make new business contacts. Over 1,200 delegates and 80 industry exhibitors are expected to attend this remarkable and noteworthy event. IPAC’24 will offer the most complete review on new ideas, important results and ground-breaking technologies in the field of particle accelerator science and technology. All this is in one week! An exceptional opportunity!
The Music City Center, Nashville’s downtown convention facility, opened in May 2013. The 2.1 million-square-foot Music City Center features more than 375,000 square feet of exhibit space, 128,000 square feet of meeting space, two ballrooms, a business center, and a 2,500-seat theater.
The Omni Nashville Hotel is next door the Music City Center (0.2 mile from Omni)and central to downtown Nashville, so you can experience all the excitement the MusicCity has to offer.
Several optional tours will be available to conference attendees and companions, so that the unique attractions of this beautiful city can be experienced. A post-conference tour will be organized to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the world’s premier research institution, where you will visit the Spallation Neutron Source, an accelerator driven user facility, the High-Flux Isotope Reactor, the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the United States, and the historic Graphite Reactor.
Please join us to meet and to interact with accelerator scientists, engineers, students, decision makers and industry experts in the Music City.
