The international conference series on hydrogen effects in materials continues, with the next conference scheduled for September 7-10, 2008 at the Jackson Lake Lodge, Moran, Wyoming, USA. Previous conferences in this series were held in 1973, 1975, 1980, 1989, 1994, and 2002, where the venue for the last five conferences has been Jackson Lake Lodge. These conferences have been the premier topical meetings on hydrogen effects in materials, as demonstrated by past attendance and extensive citations of the conference proceedings in technical literature. The continuation of this conference series is proving to be quite timely, since interest in developing hydrogen as a fuel is casting more attention on hydrogen-materials interactions. This conference will continue the trend of past meetings, where hydrogen effects on mechanical properties of materials is a primary topic.

This conference is sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, General Motors Corporation, Toyota, and the Materials Information Society and endorsed by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
