Subject: 97.07.20 1997 Gordon Conference on Catalysis
Dear Catalysis Scientist:
The Gordon Conference on Catalysis is regarded by many as the premier
annual conference in the field. Some of you may have heard that the
Gordon Conference administration had sought to change the conference
frequency to a biennial event rather than an annual meeting this past
year. Although this had been proposed, the Gordon Board of Trustees
decided to retain the annual frequency of the meeting, at least for
the near future. Consequently, the 1997 Gordon Conference on
Catalysis WILL be held, but at a time and place different from the
usual time/location.
Feel free to copy and distribute the announcement and program.
See you in New Hampshire!
