Call For Proposals

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are looking forward to seeing you at PTM 2015, June 28-July 3, in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. One important mandate of PTM 2015 will be to select the host for the next PTM conference which should be held in 2020 to keep our traditional five year sequence of the conference series. Thus, we are seeking proposals for PTM 2020. During PTM 2015 we will hold a selection session in the afternoon of July 1 where proposals will be presented to members of the PTM 2015 scientific and organizing committees who will then select the host country of PTM 2020. We ask representatives of all countries who wish to be considered to indicate this to me (Matthias.militzer@ubc.ca) by June 25 and to prepare a few slides for the selection session about the planning for the conference, e.g., the conference site, how many people the conference site can accommodate, transportation options to the site (nearest international airport etc.), availability of hotels and the tentative organizing committee.  Also please explain why your country wants to host PTM 2020. The host country and the chair of the organizing committee for PTM 2020 will be announced during our gala dinner on July 2.

Matthias Militzer,
Chair of the PTM 2015 Organizing Committee
