DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n       \nRegistration is now ope
 n for the 2026 vEM Technology Forum: https://indico.pku.edu.cn/event/53/\n
 Building on the success of the inaugural 2024 vEM Tech Forum at Harwell Ca
 mpus\, United Kingdom\, the second vEM Tech Forum will be held October 11 
 – 15 at Peking University in Beijing\, China. The Forum will bring toget
 her the global vEM community to explore advances in life and materials sci
 ences and to showcase the latest innovations in microscope platforms\, spe
 cimen preparation\, correlative imaging\, automation\, and AI-driven softw
 are development. The program will feature technical talks\, posters\, pane
 ls\, challenge sessions\, and live demonstrations of cutting-edge hardware
  and software tools. The annual vEM Town Hall will also take place during 
 this meeting (with in-person and remote access available for this session)
 .\nThe conference will begin with a welcome reception on the Sunday evenin
 g with talks\, challenge panels\, posters and demo sessions scheduled from
  Monday through Thursday. On Tuesday attendees will travel to the Huairou 
 National Imaging Center for a day of hands-on demonstration sessions. The 
 annual vEM Town Hall will be held as a hybrid meeting on the Thursday afte
 rnoon. \nAttendance is limited to 200. The Early Bird Rate Deadline has be
 en extended to July 31\, and abstract submission deadline is also July 31.
