During the TMS Annual Meeting, Feb. 14-18, 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee, there will be a 3-day Symposium on "Thermodynamic Applications, Optimizations and Simulations in High Temperature Processes" in honor of Chris Bale (on the occasion of his 70th birthday). The Symposium is organised by the Extraction and Process Metallurgy Section of TMS and will feature FactSage and other software packages.

Full details including the Schedule of Sessions are posted on the website:

This will be a prestigious event and a good opportunity to network with other FactSage users. Most of the FactSage developers from the CRCT will be attending the meeting. Representatives from GTT will also be there. Many FactSage users plan on coming - we hope you can come too.
