The International Particle Accelerator Conference IPAC’23  was held in Venice, Italy this year, organized by our European colleagues from the EPS, also sponsored by IUPAP, and hosted by the INFN Institutes in Legnaro and Trieste. IPAC is the largest event in the accelerator field and this year’s conference, the first after the pandemic, drew a record attendance. 

Next year’s event IPAC’24 in Nashville, Tennessee, May 18_th – 24^th, 2024, is co-sponsored by IEEE NPSS and APS DPB and preparations are now well under way. Conference Chair Fulvia Pilat (ORNL), Scientific Program Chair Wolfram Fischer (BNL), Local Organizing Committee Chair Robert Saethre (ORNL) and the entire organizing team are determined to make IPAC’24 equally successful. The Local Organizing Committee has developed an optimal layout of the poster and industrial sessions, and many companies have started signing up for booths. The Scientific Program Committee has met twice already and has selected the invited talks. We are looking forward to IPAC’24 in Nashville.  For details please visit the conference website.
