For its 21st conference, Pulsed Power is being held for the first time in the United Kingdom. The Pulsed Power Conference is a forum for the discussion of all aspects of the science, technology and application of Pulsed Power. Pulsed Power, the techniques for using electrical energy to generate high power short pulse(s), is used in a large range of applications from plasma physics and particle beam generation through intense magnetic field generation to industrial and medical applications. PPC 2017 welcomes papers and presentations on all these topics and any others that apply to the Pulsed Power field. 

The conference is being hosted at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, on the seafront of the town of Brighton situated on the south coast of England. Brighton is a popular and cosmopolitan town that has hosted many national and international conferences. One of the largest cities in England, Brighton has a long history reaching back to Roman times. Its more recent history is as a seaside resort, the Lanes, the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pier and the i360 are all attractions of particular note. 

The conference will be opening for registrations and abstracts on 7th November 2016; early commitment to the conference is encouraged, especially for those needing Visas to visit the UK. The deadline for abstracts has been extended to the 5th of March, 2017. Early registration for the conference, at a reduced rate, will close on 5th May; further registrations will have to be made at the conference. The conference will open on the 18th of June with a buffet reception. 

At the conference we will be presenting the Pulsed Power Science and Technology, committee awards, the Marx award for outstanding technical contributions to the field of Pulsed Power, the Haas award for sustained management and influence of programs to support Pulsed Power and the Arthur H. Guenther Pulsed Power Student Award for the outstanding students of 2016 and 2017. The nomination deadline for the Marx and Haas Awards as well as the 2017 Arthur H. Guenther Award is 1st December 2016. 

The organizing committee would like to invite you to join us in Brighton for this, the 21st Pulsed Power Conference.
