A groundbreaking event with world-class speakers is how Steve Freiman describes the 1st International Ceramic Congress, scheduled to take place in Toronto, June 25-29. Freiman, who serves as president of the inaugural event, calls it history in the making. His enthusiasm stems from the breadth of expertise & participation of the leading international organisations involved in glass & ceramics, from the multinational Fortune 500 corporations to the leading R&D centres around the world. According to Freiman, "ICC is unlike any other ceramics or glass meeting in that it focuses on future opportunities, needs & barriers to the expansion of ceramic materials into new commercial applications & markets, not on past scientific/engineering accomplishments. In other words, its about the business future of ceramics & glass". See: www.ceramics.org/icc
