> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> We are pleased to announce MPGD 2017, the 5th International Conference on Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors, which will take place at Temple 
> University in Philadelphia, USA, from Monday, May 22nd to Friday, May 26th 2017.
> 
> This conference is dedicated to review:
> 
> (a) MPGD detector technologies,
> 
> (b) Related detector technologies (e.g. RPC's and TPC's),
> 
> (c) Applications at future nuclear and particle physics facilities and
> 
> (d) Commercial applications and production.
> 
> Modern photolithographic technology on flexible and standard PCB supports has allowed the invention and development of novel and very 
> robust Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGD: such as GEM, Micromegas, THGEM and others). This technology offers the potential to develop 
> new detectors with very high spatial resolution, high rate capability, large sensitive area, high operational stability, radiation hardness and good 
> time resolution. In addition, the design of MPDGs is now mature for industrial production. Nowadays the progress is so advanced that the possibility 
> to apply these technologies beyond nuclear and particle physics such as medical imaging, homeland security, beam monitors and neutron detection 
> has become fully realistic.
> 
> The program will consist of invited and contributed talks for both oral and poster presentations. We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts. 
> Postdocs and students are especially encouraged to attend the conference. The conference will be followed by a meeting of the RD51 Collaboration, 
> the world-wide community dedicated to the development and the dissemination of the MPGD technology and its application.
