Students attending PACRIM 10 are invited to an informal group discussion with industry, national laboratory and academic professionals. This is a chance for students to ask questions of professionals in a casual environment on a number of diverse topics (work-life balance, career opportunities, etc.). The career professionals will rotate every 15 minutes so students will get a chance to have candid discussions with several professionals during this session. Light refreshments will be served. Attendance is limited to 70 students and an RSVP is required. Contact Tricia Freshour

The PACRIM 10 technical program covers a variety of topics that identify global challenges and opportunities for various ceramic technologies. The program fosters discussions on the future of specific fields on a global scale. It delivers a forum for knowledge exchange and facilitates new contacts from around the world.

PACRIM 10 is designed for materials scientists, engineers, researchers and manufacturers, delivering the opportunity to share knowledge and state-of-the-art advancements in materials technology. PACRIM 10 is hosted at the historic Hotel Del Coronado, near San Diego, Calif. The rich 125 year history of the Del includes international dignitaries, Hollywood starlets and even a ghost.

Over the years, PACRIM conferences have established a strong reputation for state-of-the-art presentations, information exchange on the latest emerging technologies and facilitating global dialogue and discussion with leading world experts. This is the tenth in a series of international conferences that provide a forum for the presentations and information exchange on emerging ceramic and glass technologies. The conference series began in 1993 and was last held in 2011 in Cairns, Australia, under the organization of The Australian Ceramic Society. The Chinese Ceramic Society and the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences organized in 2007, and ACerS organized PACRIM6 in Maui, Hawaii and PACRIM8 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
