PAM’s plans for annual conference 2022 Charlotte are finalized. Our four round tables are set, and we have a great slate of speakers prepared for the Community. We hope you will find them all enriching. We also have the traditional slate of social events at which we hope to see you!
Your Hospitality Committee has arranged a First Night Dinner and Last Night Dinner. The First Night Dinner, sponsored by Optica, is at 6 pm on Saturday, July 30th at Aria Tuscan Grill. The Last Night Dinner, sponsored by SPIE Digital Library, is at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, August 2nd at Mimosa Grill. Please see the details Chris Doty sent to PAMnet June 16th. We are incredibly grateful to Optica and SPIE for their generous sponsorship of our fellowship and networking events. Thank you!
The PAM Open House is scheduled for Monday, August 1st at 6:30 pm. This event is generously sponsored by AIP Publishing. Please plan to come mix and mingle at the Open House and show AIP how much they mean to PAM. We will be cutting a cake in celebration of the PAM 50th Anniversary. Many thanks to AIP for their support of this favorite event!
No conference would be complete without the IOP Publishing PAM Suite Daily Retreat. IOPP is once again providing a Suite for us to gather in, mingle, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. Did you know IOPP has been supporting the Suite for well over 20 years!?!? Please plan to stop by repeatedly, join your PAMily on the couch, and catch up. IOPP sent each PAM member personal invites to attend the Suite including all the details, so please be sure to RSVP. This year the Suite will also include a Virtual Suite time for our distant PAMily to gather with us, too. Thank you so much to IOPP for once again providing PAM the beloved Suite for us where the true essence of what it means to be PAMily can be found.
For those staying until Wednesday after conference, there is a PAM group outing at the NASCAR Hall of Fame organized by the Hospitality Committee. Purchase your tickets online in advance and meet at the Hall of Fame at 10 am on August 3rd. Please see the details Chris Doty sent to PAMnet June 16th.
All indications from SLA are that sessions and events are now populated to the conference schedule. PAM will also provide Dance Cards to highlight all our events.
Speaking of things you’ll receive… Each PAM member attending conference will receive a 50th Anniversary lanyard sponsored by American Mathematical Society. You’ll receive a chocolate bar with a special surprise inside sponsored by American Association for the Advancement of Science. The coveted IOP Publishing mugs will be handed out in the Suite and everyone is dying to know what this year’s design is. And to celebrate the 50th Anniversary, we also have commemorative pins and shiny gold PAM stickers. Finally, those who attend the First and Last Night Dinners will receive Golden Tickets for the end of year raffle. Thank you so much to AMS, AAAS, and IOPP for the swag and your support of PAM!
