      Date
      Oct 16, 2016 - Oct 21, 2016
      Location
      Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland OR 97232, USA
      The conference will commence on Monday with a schedule of 16 tutorials in four sessions, spanning a broad range of aerosol topics, including two sessions of the popular "Hands-on Aerosol Instrumentation Design and Measurement" tutorial featuring a total of twelve instrument companies. In a new initiative, three of the most popular tutorials will be video-recorded for later dissemination to a broader audience. Monday evening will conclude with the Young Investigators' event, where the next generation of aerosol scientists and engineers will network over some free food and drink. An exciting array of plenary talks, special symposia, poster sessions, platform presentations, and special events will take place from Tuesday morning through Friday noon. Each of these days will start with an 8 a.m. plenary lecture. Our outstanding lineup of plenary speakers for 2016 in includes Hai Wang (Stanford), Christine Wiedinmyer  (NCAR), Michael Mishchenko (NASA), and Jon Samet USC). The exhibit area, open Tuesday through Thursday, will provide ample opportunity to engage with leading companies and vendors offering instrumentation and services in aerosol science and technology. Along with our usual high-quality platform and poster sessions on all aspects of aerosol science and technology, the 2016 conference will include three special symposia on topics of great current interest: Electronic Cigarettes: Formulation, Particle Generation, Deposition, and Health Effects Effects of NOx and SO2 on BVOC Oxidation and Organic Aerosol Formation Single Aerosol Particle Studies: From Fundamental Physics to Instrumentation

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
