New (7/30/2008) - Speaker List and Topics

The International Diffuse Reflectance Conference (IDRC) is a premier biannual conference for near-infrared spectroscopy and related fields of vibrational spectroscopy. Since 1982, this conference has been held in even years on the campus of Wilson College, located in the southern Pennsylvania town of Chambersburg. The narrow focus of the "Chambersburg" Meeting — the theory and application of light (visible, near-IR, and mid-IR) in a scattering and absorbing medium — is what keeps attendees coming back year after year.

Lectures and talks are presented in plenary meetings in an informal, yet rigorous fashion. Learning is the foremost goal of this conference, with speakers encouraged to present and discuss new research. Patterned after the Gordon Conferences, the Chambersburg conference does not produce published proceedings.
