Aloha! Greetings from Hawai’i!

We are pleased to invite you to the International Congress on Ultrasonics (ICU), which will be held in Honolulu Hawaii on December 18 – 20, 2017. This Congress brings together multidisciplinary subjects on all aspects of Ultrasonics and will lead us into the future of “Eco-sound.”

The allure of Hawai`i is well known.  However, few understand how deeply Aloha can energize our lives and renew our spirit.  Come and join in the discussion on what’s being accomplished in our respective specialties.  Relax your body but reinvigorate your mind as we all learn what role we can play in shaping our society.

Our Congress success will rely on how well the Aloha spirit will make an extraordinary experience for all who attend.

We look forward to seeing you soon in Waikiki, a paradise of “Green Sound.”
