<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleague,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> Next year's Forum on Tracking Detector Mechanics will take place on 25-27 May 2020 at INFN - LNF Frascati, Italy (<span class="" style="color:#1F497D"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__indico.cern.ch_event_853861_&d=DwMDbA&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=CbbJF7nU2wMLjUBxD7pKJQ&m=gE4FVDrbAEFRnEoyxrXEBinNoIKR1DMyfSuEey-bruI&s=P0FeMYQ42CZ9onB6m4yre5BVlWIm_jN_Xj9Dae8StaY&e=" class="">https://indico.cern.ch/event/853861/</a></span>).<span class="" style="color:#1F497D">

</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> As in previous years we would like to provide the opportunity for discussions on a wide range of topics relating to tracking detector mechanics. A list of these topics can be found at the end of this email. We hope that submitted contributions

 will cover a wide range of them. Contributions will be talks of 30 minutes with 15 minutes for discussion. While talks is the first choice for contributions we accept also proposals for posters.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Registrations and abstract submissions are now open! </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To register for the Forum and/or to submit an abstract please go to

<p class="MsoNormal">In the past years there were more abstracts submitted than presentation slots available. If this is the case again we will try to merge presentations with related content and/or ask for some presentations to be presented as posters. We

 therefore encourage members of collaborations to submit joint proposals to facilitate the selection process, wherever this is sensible.</p>
