Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) plays a central role in many industrially important technologies, especially in semiconductor manufacturing. The 26th International Symposium on CMP will be a leading forum to hear leading-edge ideas and technologies relating to CMP along with ample time to network with colleagues in the CMP field. Presentations are by invitation only which ensures a very high-quality meeting. 

Plan to join us in Lake Placid in August! 

The symposium will be held at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid.

How to get to Lake Placid?

The following website has information on how to get to Lake Placid:

(https://www.lakeplacid.com/explore/getting-here)

While there is a small regional airport close by that has flights to/from Boston, planes are small and can be bumpy 🙁 

The closest international airport is Albany NY (the NY State capitol). If you choose to fly into Albany, rent a car and then enjoy the 2.5 hour drive through the picturesque Adirondacks.
