Prof. Tritt of Clemson University welcomed 249 thermoelectricians to ICT2005 held at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina USA June 19-23, 2005. Attendees came from from 24 countries ranging from Australia (2) to Uzbekistan (1), with the largest representations from the US (140), Japan (59), Germany (9), S. Korea (7) and Russia (5). Of the attendees, 62 were students including 19 from Clemson University 'who all' acted as hosts, guides, drivers and generally contributed to the congenial atmosphere.

Aside from the technical highlights, Prof. Tritt's musical performance was particularly notable as he demonstrated musical skill to rival his science.

The book of abstracts lists 117 oral and 88 poster presentations, for a total of 205 papers (a few of which were not presented for various reasons). Obviously only a few can be mentioned in the Highlights below.

The poster requirements are 3 foot by 4 foot.

There will be 40" x 60" foamcore board mounted on easels
for each poster and the presenters can pin their posters to that board
with push pins which we will provide.
