Welcome to IEEE Pulsed Power Conference & Symposium on Fusion Engineering – PPC 2015 SOFE, the 20th IEEE Pulsed Power Conference (PPC) and the 26th IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering (SOFE) will be co-located, May 31-June 4, 2015, in Austin, Texas USA at the Hilton Austin Hotel. While these two conferences have distinct technical programs, by co-locating them at a common venue, we hope to provide enhanced opportunities for social and technical interaction between these communities. The conferences will encompass a wide range of technical activities, and we hope to offer two excellent meetings providing some of the latest results in these technical areas. In addition, a short-course will be offered in the area of plasma-material interactions. The organizing committees as well as the IEEE NPSS look forward to your attendance for a valuable technical experience and an enjoyable visit to the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX.
