2019 Cryogenic Engineering Conference and International Cryogenic Materials Conference
2019-07-21 08:00 - 2019-07-25 11:30
On behalf of the organizers of the 2019 Cryogenic Engineering Conference and International Cryogenic Materials Conference, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 22nd joint CEC/ICMC in Hartford, Connecticut: Connecticut’s capital and one of New England’s oldest cities.
The technical program of the conferences features the latest research and state-of-the-art developments in all cryogenics areas, including superconductivity, cryocoolers, cryogenic materials, and applications. Hartford provides an inspiring environment for lively discussions, shared experiences, and collaboration development.
The Cryogenic Engineering Conference and the International Cryogenic Materials Conference (CEC-ICMC) are the premier international conferences for discussion and presentation of research pertaining to the production and application of low temperatures.
The Cryogenic Engineering Conference (CEC) focuses on the science and engineering required for cryogenic applications. Examples of topics in past conferences include liquefied gases for fuels, space applications of cryogenic liquids, cooling and performance of superconducting magnet systems in medical, transportation, power, and basic research applications, as well as the systems, machinery, control technology and thermodynamics required to produce low temperatures.
The International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) focuses on the development, characterization, fabrication and optimization of the materials used in cryogenic applications. This is typically broken into two broad categories: structural materials and superconducting materials. ICMC contributions cover both high and low temperature superconducting materials, from basic materials research through behavior of composite cables and wires in applications. Cryogenic structural materials cover a broad range, including non-metallic composites, polymeric resins and insulation materials, ferrous alloys, nickel-base alloys, aluminum alloys, and specialized materials for advanced cryocooler applications.
Every other year, these two conferences join together to form the CEC-ICMC Joint Conference.
Please mark your calendars and plan to join us at CEC/ICMC 2019. We hope to see you there.

This statewide conference will bring together experts in the field of addiction and substance use to discuss the approach of harm reduction for the treatment of opioid use disorders. Keynote speakers Van Asher and Sharon Stancliff, MD will challenge the definition of recovery and present innovative ways to address and overcome the opioid crisis. Breakout session presenters will pay particular attention to the roles of community organizing, clinical work, first responders, prevention, and adolescent substance abuse.

Jurassic Quest is America’s largest and most realistic dinosaur event. Our guests will walk through the Cretaceous period, the Jurassic Period and The Triassic period and experience for themselves what it was like to be among dinosaurs of all kinds.
Jurassic Quest is the only dinosaur event that has true to life size dinosaurs. From the very small, to the gigantic, sky-scraping dinosaurs that can only be seen at our events, Jurassic Quest has over 80 true-to-life size dinosaurs in each of its two touring shows. In collaboration with leading paleontologists, each dinosaur was painstakingly replicated in every detail. Whether their prehistoric counterpart had skin that was scaly, had feathers or fur, Jurassic Quest has spared no expense in bringing this realism to life.
In Jurassic Quest’s Dinosaur World, the dinosaurs roar and move, some even walk around. At a Jurassic Quest event, there’s a sometimes-blurry line between our visitors watching the dinosaurs … and the dinosaurs watching them!
At Jurassic Quest, you’ll meet and interact with Baby Dinosaurs and adolescent Walking Dinosaurs. The Baby Dinosaurs love to see and play with our guests. They’ve been known to grab baseball caps right off unsuspecting children’s heads, nibble at their shirts and even pose for pictures. Turns out, even when they grow up a little, they still love the attention. Like our dino babies, our teen and pre-teen walking dinos love to play and maybe prank guests as well!
In addition to the life-like Dinosaur Exhibits, there are many attractions and activities for all kinds of dinosaur fans. Our guests can dig up fossils like a real paleontologist, they can ride on the back of a huge 24ft T. Rex, or the spiky, overgrown, Carnotaurus among others. There are countless dinosaur themed rides throughout the event including inflatable mazes, huge slides, and the multitrack Dino Bungee Pull. Jurassic Quest has a Dinosaur Petting Zoo where little ones can pet dinosaurs that are more their size. Our little Questers can even do crafts and explore Dino Science stations, Visit the fossil area in our Dinosaur Museum and see real dinosaur fossils dating back over 60 million years. Whether they are big or small, young or old, our guests have a dino-mite time!

15th Annual Northeast Lean Conference
2019-10-23 08:00 - 2019-10-24 16:00
The 2019 GBMP conference turns its focus on recognizing the re-emergence of Total Employee Involvement (TEI) as the key to unlocking the full benefits of Lean transformation. In the early days of Lean implementation, company involvement of all employees at all levels was identified as the keystone to Lean. TEI recognized the innate capabilities and desire of employees to always make things better. ​But, in the early 90’s, as Lean tools were popularized, the focus on broad employee involvement diminished. New jobs were created to concentrate the tasks of problem solving and improvement in the hands of just a small segment of employees. ​ ​Now, organizations seeking to change their culture are recognizing that this must involve everyone. Featuring six tracks, 60 speakers, and 500 fellow practitioners we hope you will join us!
