It almost feels like an April Fools joke, but the first quarter of 2014 ends next Monday.

Next Monday, March 31, is also the deadline for submitting abstracts to the Materials Science and Technology 2014 conference.

MS&T’14 is one of the largest technical conferences dedicated to the science and engineering of materials. A collaborative effort between The American Ceramic Society, ASM International, The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society, and The Association for Iron and Steel Technology, the conference draws an audience of more than 3,000 of the world’s premier materials scientists and engineers.

The point? Time flies quickly, and it will be October before you know it. Don’t miss this opportunity to submit your abstract and get your work in front of the world’s foremost materials science audience.

MS&T will be October 12–16 in the D.L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Below is a list of scheduled symposia related to ceramics. Of course, ceramics-related talks will fit into many of the other symposia that are being organized, too.

See you in October—only one-and-a-half quarters away!
