This Workshop is an opportunity to build strong links between all players in explosives and drug detection. All content will be unclassified from a security perspective, however, recording of presentations and photography of posters is strictly prohibited.  To ensure a dynamic, communicative environment, Workshops are capped at around 150 participants. Delegates will be selected based on the merits of the abstract described in their completed application. The intention is to have a good balance of participation from government, industry and academia, with representation from end-users as well.

The TEDD Workshop is run on a nonprofit basis; organizers look to Governments and Industry to provide financial sponsorship to fully support the participation of academia, support the costs of some speakers, and to support events such as dinners, poster sessions and receptions.  Those wishing to sponsor the meeting are requested to contact Richard Lareau, Scientific Workshops at Phone: (603) 409-2106, lareau@lareauconsultingservices.com.
