To protect the health of all participants and prevent the spread of the disease we will convene all sessions and symposia online. We are offering substantially reduced participation fees.

The recent years have seen a revolution in the science and practice of crystal growth. Novel mechanisms of nucleation and growth have decoded mysteries that have puzzled the community for ages. Elaborate processes and advanced techniques have birthed materials with unprecedented properties and exciting applications. Rationales developed within the crystal growth realm have illuminated longstanding conundrums in geology, biology, and medicine. 

These jointly-held conferences are the premier forums to discuss the huge modern advances in all aspects of crystal growth, both in the bulk and as epitaxial films. We will continue the tradition of numerous ACCGE and OMVPE meetings and bring together the topmost experts in the field from industry, academia, and government laboratories. Joining the two conferences affords an exceptional opportunity to present and discuss original results and provides a venue for newcomers to embrace the hot, new advances in science and technology. Our format is designed to maximize interaction among leading specialists and the wider crystal growth community, with oral and poster sessions as well as plenary and invited speakers to provide a broad picture of the up-to-date developments in the field.

​
