Greetings and we wish you already had a great start of the New Year.
The preparation of the Conference has entered its final dash to the finish line. Everyone involved has his/her adrenaline pumped up. We realize you will be expecting an experience with a quality matching that established by past MEMS conferences and we strive to deliver just that.
This year we have produced a Program Guide that contains a short abstract for each paper. We hope this will help you plan you conference schedule. While a high-resolution hardcopy will be provided when you check in at the registration counter, a reduced-resolution version is available for download.
We wish you a pleasant journey to Hong Kong and look forward to seeing you real soon.

Greetings!
The members of the Technical Program Committee (TPC) met as scheduled on September 24 and 25 at the beautiful campus of the University of Tokyo. This meeting was the culmination of weeks of intense reading by the 30 TPC members of the 885 submissions.
Each and every one of the submissions was thoroughly and rigorously discussed at the meeting. The TPC was impressed by the high quality of the submissions and difficult choices had to be made. At final tally, a total of 299 (33.7%) were selected for presentation at the Conference; 25 of these will be presented in single-oral sessions, 50 in parallel-oral sessions and 224 in poster sessions. We will soon post the program on the Conference web site.
For the Conference in 2010, we will be experimenting with the inclusion of parallel sessions. While the format is not new, it is certainly a first for our Conference. Single sessions are retained for papers judged to have a more general appeal. So there will be a bit of a mix of the "old" and "new" formats. We will love to hear your feedback on this change.
Last but not least, we would like to take this opportunity to thank, once again, all the authors for their submissions. From these, we have built a truly outstanding program for the Conference. We look forward to seeing all of you in Hong Kong in January 2010.
We will continue to use this corner of the Home Page to update you on the preparation of the conference. Please do stay connected!
