The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will host a joint users' meeting at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratroy on September 24-27, 2019. This annual meeting is a unique opportunity to gather together the lightsource community in a single scientific event that includes numerous presentations in plenary, poster and parallel sessions. Participants are able to learn about current/future facility capabilities and the latest user research as well as to discuss science with colleagues from academia, research laboratories, and industry worldwide.

The conference will feature several focused workshops including:

• Materials Science X-ray Diffraction Opportunities
• Metals in Structural Biology
• Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED)
• LCLS-II Early Science
• Automated Analysis and Control for X-ray Science Experiments
• Multi-Scale Structural Biology
• MXAN:  Three Dimensional Structures for Metal Sites in Condensed Phases and in Catalysts
• CryoEM of Macromolecular Machines
• Current and Future Opportunities in Time-Resolved X-ray Science:  Materials and Interface
  • Materials Phenomena
  • Ultrafast Electron and Molecular Dynamics at Interfaces
• Recent Advances in the X-ray Spectroscopy of the Actinides
• Development and Challenges in X-ray Spectroscopies and Ultrafast Dynamics:  Experiment and Theory
• Data-Reduction Pipeline for LCLS-II

The September 26th plenary session will include a welcome from SLAC Director Chi-Chang Kao, an update from DOE BES, facility updates from the LCLS and SSRL Directors, Mike Dunne and Paul McIntyre, a townhall discussion with facility directors, and invited talks, young investigator awards, and a poster blitz.

Invited Speakers:  

• Stosh Kozimor (LANL)
• Philippe Wernet (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin)

Stay tuned for announcements and opportunities to submit nominations for these awards to be presented during the users' conference.
