July 28, 1995 Ann Arbor MI USA
15th Biennial ISN Meeting concluded in Kyoto
A well-organized and scientifically exciting program served to counter less than
cooperative weather. The unremitting rain lifted briefly to allow participants to enjoy
the gardens of the Kyoto International Convention Center at the time of the Banquet
.

Our local hosts ran a smooth operation. Attendance, reported at the Business Meeting,
was 1192 attendees. The
breakdown
revealed an unusually low representation
from the USA. A major reason is the double-barreled problem of tight grant money
and a steep drop in the value of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen.
A few
scenes from the meeting you may wish to see.
The 1997 ISN Meeting to be held jointly with the ASN in Boston should, in
contrast, be inexpensive for most visitors to the USA.
The dates for that meeting have
been quoted in preliminary announcements as July 19-26 and July 20-26. I have it
on good authority that the correct dates will be July 20-25, 1997, inclusive,
that is, Sunday registration with conclusion on Fridayafternoon or evening. This
information should be helpful for those planning pre- or post-meeting
satellites.
Also in the future:
- 1998 ESN meeting is slated for St. Petersburg
- 1999 ISN meeting will be in Berlin, Germany, or
Gothenburg, Sweden, to be decided in the near future.
Stay tuned.
