I have been involved with much of the planning of this conference which is a follow up to last years www.nanomedicinesummit.org We had very strong response from the community but were asked to do a program for the industrial Nanotech community focused on applications as opposed to most events which are so research oriented. We reached out to Boeing, Ford and Procter and Gamble and asked them if they would come and talk about how they are using nanotech today but also to reach out to University Researchers and start ups and ask them for their help in meeting unmet needs. This conference has limited space and we have only 30 spots left. If you want to come please sign up now we do not want anyone to be shut out at the last minutes. To date we have sign ups from 6 countries and over 20 states. We thought this may be a good way for regional companies in the Midwest to get a good view of what is occurring at other companies but we were pleasantly surprised to find that this offering had a strong international appeal. We will announce at the event this year that we will be rotating this event with the City of Albuquerque New Mexico next year to really take advantage of all the government funded research at Sandia, Las Alamos and UNM. We will announce dates for next years Nano AP summit. With this east/ west format both being led by not for profit volunteers interested in seeing nanotech reach the mainstream, we are sure to see this event placed on researchers, corporate users of emerging tech and entrepreneurs calendars alike. Cleveland really has a lot of momentum in Nanotech and if you come to this event you will see what we have assembled in the past two years since the www.nano-network.org was formed
