The CLSI Annual User's Meeting, organized by the Users' Advisory Committee, is a great opportunity to learn about the progress of the Canadian Light Source, present your recent synchrotron work and meet fellow users. We have a list of fantastic speakers lined up for the 2005 meeting, along with a wine & cheese poster/vendor session, tours of the Light Source, a banquet event, and other associated workshops and beam team meetings. Nominations for Users' Advisory Committee membership will also be taken - the committee that represents the interests and concerns of users to the CLS.

We look forward to seeing you there!
