MILESTONES IN THE HISTORY OF IVEC
Vacuum Electronics Conferences 1955 -1995
IEEE EDS International Electron Device Conference
- An annual, prestigious, highly selective international conference hosted papers on vacuum electronics from 1955 to 1995
Microwave Power Tube Conference (Monterey Conference)
- A biennial, classified, US-only conference launched in 1974 was sponsored by the DoD Advisory Group on Electron Devices (AGED)
Tri-Service Cathode Workshop
- A biennial workshop started in 1978, with military services as rotating hosts, sponsored by DoD AGED
International Vacuum Microelectronics Conference
- An international conference Initiated in 1988 by Henry Gray and Capp Spindt, with IEEE Electron Device Society (EDS) sponsorship
- Primarily focused on field-emission devices and applications
European Space Agency (ESA) Space TWT Workshop
- An international, triennial workshop founded in 1989 that was sponsored by the ESA European Space Research and Technology Centre
IEEE Plasma Science Society International Conference on Plasma Science
- Vacuum electronics was a subset of this annual, international conference, which began in 1973
The 1990s Bring Changes
Tri-Service Cathode Workshop becomes the International Vacuum Electron Sources Conference (IVESC)
- NASA added to the host rotation for Cathode Workshop in 1990
- NASA replaced the Air Force as sponsor in 1994
- NASA tasked by AGED to terminate Cathode Workshop and turn it into an IEEE conference
- IVESC initiated in 1996 sponsored by IEEE EDS
The International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC), 1997-present
7 the International Technical Committee for Vacuum Electronics formed
- Technical Committee was given oversight of technical conferences
- First IVEC conference held in Monterey in 2000
- IVEC meets biennially in the US and has alternated between Europe and Asia every fourth year
