EXHIBITOR TECHNOLOGY SPOTLIGHT (EW)
The Exhibitor Technology Spotlight Sessions will take place in the stage area of the exhibit hall during the technical session breaks on Tuesday and Wednesday. These sessions are free and open to all registered AVS67 attendees. This is your opportunity to learn about new products, research techniques and services offered by AVS exhibitors. Each session is followed by a brief Q&A session making it a truly interactive learning experience. After the sessions, you may visit the presenting exhibitors at their booths to further discuss any points that you would like to receive more details on. Come learn how new technology can benefit your research efforts!
- EW-TuB: Exhibitor Technology Spotlight Session I
- EW-WeB: Exhibitor Technology Spotlight Session II
UNDERGRADUATE POSTER SESSION (UN)
AVS 67 will host the first undergraduate poster session, open to any undergraduate researcher. This special session provides undergraduate researchers the opportunity to present and network with students, professors, and industry leaders! We welcome the newest members of AVS to share their important work with all society members and greatly encourage participation! Registration is discounted for undergraduate students and limited travel assistance may be available.

AVS LATE BREAKING SESSION
There will be opportunities for presentation of post-deadline discoveries in all fields relevant to the AVS membership. Submissions that address topics in surfaces, interfaces, films, nanometer-scale phenomena, emerging technologies, or new innovations. Abstracts will be solicited starting in mid-July for either (1) an individual 20-minute oral presentation, or (2) a poster presentation. Late-Breaking Abstracts will be used to fill holes in the program and they must be submitted via the AVS website by Thursday, August 23, 2021. Notification of acceptance/rejection will be made soon thereafter. Please review the AVS 67 website for details and submission guidelines in mid-July.
AVS CAREER CENTER
The AVS Career Center will be hosted inside the Exhibit Hall, Booth #1001. Whether you are looking to hire or be hired this is the place to be. Employers – Register for a Recruiting table top or submit job postings, review résumés and conduct interviews all in one location. Job Seekers – Submit or bring your résumé/CV, review job boards, meet recruiters and hopefully have a few IN PERSON interviews while attending AVS 67! For more information Click Here!
AVS SHORT COURSES
The AVS National Short Course program will be held separately, and virtually, September 14-23, 2021, not in conjunction with AVS 67. There will be seven (7) AVS Short Courses that offer specialized training in specific areas of vacuum science and related technologies. All courses will run 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST via the Zoom platform. For more details and to register Click Here!
AVS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
AVS is a not-for-profit Society that offers a myriad of services, programs and events related to science and technology in the fields of vacuum, materials, interfaces and processing to scientists and engineers from around the world. An extensive recognition and exposure program, which is active before and during the Symposium, is available to our Symposium Sponsors. As a Symposium Sponsor, your logo will appear on the AVS website, in the Technical/Exhibitor Program, on signage and slide shows at the Symposium. The earlier you commit to AVS Symposium Sponsorship, the greater exposure you will receive. To learn more about Sponsorship opportunities, please contact Jeannette DeGennaro at 212-248-0200 ext. 229 or jeannette@avs.org or Yvonne Towse at 212-248-0200 ext. 222 or yvonne@avs.org.
