The inaugural two-day CIRCA 07 conference co-hosted by AeA and the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering was a tremendous success with nearly 175 attendees and 30 speakers.

CIRCA 07 explored the value of convergence with industry leaders, the tools needed to enable convergence and the opportunities that proactive computing is creating in convergence.  The conference then broke out into technology partnership pathways in transportation and bio-health. Many new exciting partnerships have been formed as a result of the conference and we anticipate several announcements in the coming months.

Highlights of the event included keynote presentations by Dr. Tim Weber, R&D Director of Advanced Materials and Process Lab, Hewlett Packard and Dr. Bernard Meyerson, Chief Technology Officer, IBM.

By all accounts CIRCA 07 was a tremendous success that can largely be attributed to the tremendous financial support of our sponsors and high caliber speaker presentations.

CIRCA 07 Sponsors included:  Platinum- National Grid, New York State Office of Science & Technology; Gold- HP, Matheson Tri-Gas; Silver- Center for Economic Growth; Bronze- UHC, NYSERDA, M+W Zander, Arsenal Business & Technology Partnership; Table Sponsors: Vistec Lithography, Oracle.
