Discover, Connect, Innovate: Uniting the World of VMI Technology

This year, DESY is proud to host the inaugural VMI User Meeting. This event is dedicated to bringing together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts from around the world to discuss the latest developments, applications, and future directions in Velocity Map Imaging technology.

The meeting will feature a series of presentations from leading experts in the field, highlighting recent advancements and applications of VMI in various scientific disciplines. Keynote speakers from both academic and industrial backgrounds will provide insights into current challenges and emerging opportunities within the VMI community.

In addition to the presentations, the meeting will offer hands-on workshops and demonstrations, facilitating practical learning and exchange of techniques among users of the TPX3CAM and other VMI systems. These sessions aim to enhance the skills of attendees, fostering a deeper understanding of VMI technology.

An important aspect of the meeting will be dedicated to networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with peers, forge new collaborations, and discuss potential research projects. This interaction is expected to spur innovative ideas and partnerships, further advancing the field of VMI.
 

This meeting will serve as a cornerstone for future collaborations, shared knowledge, and continuous advancement in VMI technology. We warmly invite all interested individuals to join us in this exciting endeavor to shape the future of VMI.
