About the Conference
We are pleased to announce the 2023 in-person NATAS conference will be held in Rockville, MD, a beautiful city that is part of the Washington D.C. National Capital Area, on the DC metro system, allowing easy access to Washington museums and sites, and close to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU-APL), Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Georgetown University, George Washington University, George Mason University and the University of Maryland.
The North American Thermal Analysis Society is a venerable organization that offers scientists and practitioners the opportunity to explore the frontiers of thermal analysis, rheology, and materials characterization. Membership ensures that you have contact information for all your NATAS colleagues throughout the year and that you get the best registration rates for the annual conference.
Presentations and posters by renowned scientists and graduate students set the stage for excellent discussions and an ideal environment to learn about state-of-the-art techniques and exciting new developments in thermal analysis and materials research.
