AIM2020 Demonstrations

AIM2020 will include instrument and experimental demonstrations at the conference venue as well as on campus. There will on-site demonstrations every day at the Berkeley City Club. There will also be off-site demonstrations at multiple campus locations on Friday, January 31, 10:15A – 12:15P. Please note on-campus demonstrations are a 10-15 minute walk. There will also be Vendor Fairs on Wednesday and Thursday at the BCC.

Vendor Fairs and Off-site Demonstrations are listed below. Please refer to your program and the Google Map on the Location tab for the building locations on campus. There are three main campus buildings hosting demonstrations for AIM: Life Sciences Addition (LSA), Li Ka Shing Center (LKS), and Barker Hall. 

You do not need to sign-up for a particular demonstration during registration. You may visit as many as you like and have time to see.
