On behalf of the conference organizers, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 10th International Aerosol Conference (IAC 2018) to be held September 2-7, 2018 at the America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The Conference Committee with leadership of Technical Program Co-Chairs, Drs. C.Y. Wu, U of Florida and Brent Williams, Washington University in St. Louis, have prepared a fabulous program for all. I will provide some of the key highlights (of course only a selected list, with lot more details in the Program Book)
- The regular full slate of tutorials on Sunday on a wide range of aerosol science topics, including the popular "Hands-on Aerosol Instrumentation Design and Measurement" tutorial.
