CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
Presentation Submission Due Friday March 12
Mirror Technology SBIR/STTR Workshop
June 7th to 9th, 2010
Millennium Hotel, Boulder CO
It is my pleasure to offer you an opportunity to present at Mirror Technology Days 2010 and SBIR/STTR pre-solicitation workshop. Tech Days 2010 is accepting three distinct types of presentations:
1. Review of Funded Research: Contractors with current Government funding (e.g. SBIRs, DIIs, etc.) are invited to review their accomplishments of the last year and plans for the future.
2. Success Stories: Contractors are invited to present how past or present government funded mirror technology development efforts have either been integrated into a Government program or reached the commercial marketplace.
3. NEW THIS YEAR, Technology Needs: Prime Contractors and/or Systems Integrators are invited to identify specific technologies which they would like for the Government to have developed.
Please remember, presentations should not be of a generic capabilities or ‘commercial’ nature.
Projects to be reviewed include Government sponsored mirror technology development for any application (such as telescopes, imaging systems, seeker/trackers, high-energy laser systems, solar energy, etc.) which requires optical components. Tech Days covers technology investment efforts in: optical materials; substrate design & manufacture; optical fabrication and metrology technology; optical coatings; wavefront sensing and control via adaptive optics; nano-technology imaging technologies; etc.
Please send your presentation information to h.philip.stahl@nasa.gov ASAP but no later than Friday March 12:
Presentation Title,
Presenter Name,
Company Name,
Sponsoring US Government Agency, and
OPEN or CLOSED Session
OPEN sessions are for basic mirror technology development research. CLOSED sessions are Export or ITAR Controlled Presentations. Attendance for CLOSED sessions is restricted to US Citizens and Green Card Holders.
As always, you have three options: 1) you can prepare and present your own presentation; 2) you can prepare your own presentation and have your Government sponsor present it on your behalf; or 3) your sponsor will prepare and present a presentation of your activities on your behalf.
Before arriving at Tech Days, each presenter is responsible for getting all necessary public release clearances for their presentations. All OPEN presentations must be fully public - containing no proprietary or Export Controlled information. I will need a copy of each author’s public release authorization. Authors are expected to bring an electronic version of their presentation that can be loaded onto the conference computer for projection.
Sincerely;
H. Philip Stahl, Ph.D.
