March 19 & 20, 2002, WPI Campus, Worcester, Mass.

Invitation from President Parrish

Dear Colleague:

It is my great pleasure to invite you to join us at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for the Second International Corporate/Academic Roundtable on Emerging Technologies. This year's theme, "Molecular Engineering - The Next Five Years" focuses on one of the most promising and competitive frontiers in science and engineering today.

The roundtable features a distinguished roster of corporate and academic leaders, policy makers, researchers, industry analysts, and senior executives from a cross-section of industries. Presenters will examine from their own perspectives many of the exciting discoveries, anticipated challenges and breakthroughs in this rapidly emerging field. As an attendee, you will have the unique experience of learning how this multi-disciplinary field will be shaping the world around us. Ample time for discussion and networking with speakers and presenters has been built into the conference schedule.

Centrally located in the heart of New England, the WPI campus is convenient to major transportation centers in Boston, Hartford and Providence, and provides an ideal setting for this forum. Conference details, including on-line registration, travel and hotel recommendations, as well as local area attractions, may be found on this website.

Please register early in order to reserve your space for what promises to be a most informative and memorable conference.

I look forward to welcoming you to WPI and to the Roundtable.

Sincerely yours,
Edward Alton Parrish
President
