Abstract

As we have become all too accustomed, uncertainties arising from the pandemic persist regarding prospects to hold the CEC/ICMC’21 conference safely in the collegial setting we have always enjoyed. These uncertainties along with recommendations from the CEC and ICMC community led to the decision to cancel the in-person conference scheduled for September 12-16, 2021 in Honolulu, Hawai’i. We invite you to attend the now virtual 2021 joint 23rd Cryogenic Engineering Conference and International Cryogenic Materials Conference scheduled to take place from July 19 – 23, 2021. Virtual technology continues to evolve, and we have been presented the opportunity to benefit from recent past conferences held in 2020. This allows for us to engage the CEC/ICMC community with a lively, enriching virtual meeting of cryogenic-related topics exchanging recent state-of-the-art developments in all areas of cryogenics, including superconductivity, cryocoolers, cryogenic materials, and applications. We acknowledge and thank Scientific Instruments, Inc. and Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics for America, Inc. for sponsoring efforts to conduct a successful CEC/ICMC 2021. We look forward to a rich and engaging event in 2021 and look forward to meeting in person in Honolulu, Hawai’i in 2023!
