+Conference Scout — Next 6 Months
+
+
+
+
+
+ Candidates for discussion at the next team meeting — semiconductors, power electronics (GaN/SiC), X-ray optics, photon/nanoscience, and defense/aerospace prospecting, sourced by the scheduled Conference Scout agent and reviewed by hand. PCIM Asia, IMAPS Onshoring Workshop, and SEMICON Taiwan were ruled out as not happening; ICSCRM 2026 was dropped per a no-international-travel-to-Japan constraint. Two further-out defense-prospecting candidates (GOMACTech 2027, IEEE RadarConf’27) fall outside this 6-month window and aren’t listed here.
+
+ Verification note: the agent's sandbox blocks direct fetches to official event sites, so dates/locations are cross-referenced across multiple independent search sources rather than confirmed on the primary page — double-check the official site before committing budget or travel.
+
+
+
+
Aalborg, Denmark
+
IEEE workshop on wide-bandgap (GaN/SiC) power devices — niche but highly targeted technical audience. Flagged as a real candidate.
+
+
+
+
Karlsruhe, Germany
+
16th Biennial Conference on High-Resolution X-Ray Diffraction and Imaging — direct X-ray diffraction/imaging overlap.
+
+
+
+
+
Sept 21–25, 2026 (core Sept 22–24)
+
+
Schenefeld Campus (European XFEL), near Hamburg, Germany
+
Explicitly covers metadata/data formats and FAIR data management for beamline software; co-hosted by DESY/European XFEL on TXproducts' home campus — the single best topical fit found.
+
+
+
+
London, UK
+
Research Data Alliance plenary — strong FAIR/research-data-infrastructure networking, though less domain-specific than NOBUGS.
+
+
+
+
Harare, Zimbabwe
+
African Light Source / African Physical Society joint meeting — the Africa-based synchrotron-development community, with materials/X-ray characterization topics.
+
+
+
+
Boston, MA, USA
+
Broad materials-science conference with strong X-ray characterization tracks.
