The conference opens on Tuesday with a short course session in the morning followed by the beginning of a 3-day commercial session featuring materials and equipment vendors.

This year’s focus will be on nanofabrication with a goal of improved precision for quantum and 2D devices.

The 2025 Plenary session on Wednesday morning welcomes three prestigious speakers relevant to this year’s focus, which will be on nanofabrication with a goal of improved precision for quantum and 2D devices.

The remainder of the conference will consist of three parallel oral sessions. Presentations (including questions) will be 30 minutes for invited papers and 20 minutes for contributed papers. Awards are given for the Best Student Presentation Award and Best Student Poster. Throughout the conference, there are various focused workshops and networking events, including the welcome reception, the Women in Nanotechnology luncheon, the mentoring session, and, of course, the conference banquet on Thursday evening, to be held in the Riverside Ballroom, opening directly onto the Savannah River.
