PMI Now Accepting Registrations for its May 2009 Short Course

Registrations are now being accepted for PMI's first Short Course of 2009. The course will once again be held at the company headquarters in Ithaca, NY, and will allow attendees hands-on training, offer informative lectures, and a chance to have their own samples tested as well as meet with PMI's experts to discuss the latest trends in pore structure characterization. This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up training, network with peers in your field, and get some first-hand knowledge of how characteristics such as pore structure, pore diameter, and surface area can affect the overall performance of your materials.

The PMI Short Course brings together their experts in pore structure and characterization, as well as technical specialists from industries, research laboratories and universities from around the world, for three days of intensive lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. The material presented addresses the theory and application of methods for determining pore structure and distribution in a wide variety of materials.

Attendees learn the basics and catch up on the latest advances in porosity characterization techniques. The course schedule will include plenty of time for one-on-one discussions with PMI's technical staff, and each day finishes with an evening of dining and sightseeing in scenic Ithaca, New York.

Past attendees of the course have said:

"The course was very informative and well planned. The schedule & lectures covered a wide variety of testing procedures for different types of materials. I found the course very beneficial. I would be interested in coming back....There is great expertise at PMI and I was very impressed. Job well done!"

"This was an excellent course. Very well done and one of the most comprehensive courses I've been to."

"Overall, this course was excellent. I had no background relating to porosity, and now I feel like I understand the basics enough to deal with my specific projects. In addition to the excellent scientific aspects, the non-scientific aspects of the course (accommodations, meals, organization, etc.) were the best I've seen all year at any similar type of event."
