These triennial meetings, organized under the auspices of the International Organisation for Crystal Growth (IOCG), are the premier forums for the world’s crystal growth communities. The International Summer School on Crystal Growth will feature world-renowned scholars delivering tutorials on the fundamentals and practice of crystal growth. The International Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent research and development activities in crystal growth and will feature all aspects of bulk crystal and epitaxial thin film growth; sessions will integrate fundamentals, experimental and industrial growth processes, characterization, and applications. The technical program will include both oral and poster sessions, as well as plenary and invited talks to provide a complete picture of the latest developments in the fields. The official language of the conference will be English. Conference proceedings will be reviewed and published in a special issue of the Journal of Crystal Growth. The magnificent setting of the Rocky Mountains and the American West will provide multiple opportunities for recreation and enjoyment of nature for the conferees and their families before and after, as well as during the conference. There will be a full social program and vendor exhibit together with the technical sessions.
