15TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
The 15th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy will take place from 13-20 May 2011, hosted by the Rainbow Nation, South Africa. This is the first time ever that the ICNIRS will be hosted on the African continent. We trust the 15th ICNIRS will be attended by approximately 400 delegates from all over the world, comprising manufacturers of NIR equipment, developers of software packages, scientists from all areas of research where NIR spectroscopy is actively applied, as well as users of NIR spectroscopy from various industries such as agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.

IASIM-10
The International Association for Spectral Imaging invites you to Dublin for IASIM-10, a conference on spectral imaging. IASIM provides a single forum for the European spectral imaging community regardless of the spectral (ultraviolet, visible, near, mid or far infrared) or spatial range (microscopic, macroscopic, remote sensing) of images. Continuing in the spirit and focus of EASIM-09, this conference welcomes submissions from imaging researchers in all fields and will strive to explore commonalities across platforms and applications. Given the different development stages of various imaging techniques, cross-fertilisation of ideas and exchange of experience with mathematical exploration techniques will form the bedrock of this third conference.

15TH INTERNATIONAL DIFFUSE REFLECTANCE CONFERENCE
The Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy (CNIRS) invites all interested parties to attend the 15th International Diffuse Reflectance Conference, July 31 - August 6, 2010, at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, USA. This biannual event attracts scientists, engineers, managers, and other technically oriented people from academia, government, and private industry, all having an interest in the subject of light-matter (visible, near-, and mid-IR) interaction in scattering and absorbing media. Commonly known as the "Chambersburg" Conference, this meeting is in its 27th year of operation. If you are a first time comer, welcome! — you will find this conference to be informative, economical, and pleasant. If you are a returning participant, you already have a very good idea of the value of this meeting — welcome back! Loads of information, highly respected peers of the near-infrared spectroscopy community, informal and relaxing environment — this is a conference to wholeheartedly consider in your summer plans.

NIR ON THE GO 2010
Every two-three years in collaboration with ICNIRS the NIR ON THE GO conference offers a unique occasion to gather together people working on NIR applied in field application. Previous meetings were held in Braunschweig (Germany) and Gembluox, (Belgium) and now in the warmer Italy. NIR applications are rapidly moving from labs to fields. What does NIR needs to become the leading technology in monitoring, mapping production of food from the very source? What new sensors and new software are available to develop successful NIR applications? Can we make NIR affordable to any application? Can NIR be a valuable source to increase profitability in the feed/food market? The conference will cover technical and application aspect of this technology with the participation of scientists, sensor and software manufactures, agricultural machinery companies and NIR specialists in different disciplines.

BCS WORKSHOP: SUPPORT VECTOR REGRESSION (SVR)
Most multivariate calibration methods assume there is a linear relation between X and Y which holds for all samples. Two strategies have been followed when this assumption does not hold: - local linear models - nonlinear regression. This workshop will discuss theory and practice of support vector regression, a method that elegantly combines the advantages of both strategies.

BCS WORKSHOP "CALIBRATION STRATEGIES"
If you have plenty of nice and clean data, and confidence that future data is going to be just like that, then multivariate calibration can be straightforward. If not, you're in the case that is getting ever more attention in chemometrics. This afternoon workshop presents an array of strategies to make the most of your data and whatever prior knowledge you might have on it.
