2013 - Washington, DC

Chalmersska Ingenjörsföreningen - USA - CANADA

Hello Chalmerist west of the Atlantic!



Time is now running fast to our upcoming CING USA/Canada annual meeting in Washington, D.C. on May 23-27, 2013.

For those that never made any CING activity before, be brave and give it a try this time.We were very pleased to see many new alumni as first-time guests in the 2012 San Francisco meeting. And all of them really enjoyed the time!

The most recent program is always at this special document site, please save this location:

If you like, download the new document (File - Download as ...) in select-able format, or print directly from the website. We are still finalizing the program, so check periodically for updates.

Our technical theme is “Energy for the future” with expert presentations and a study visit.

On the fun side, you get unique opportunities to see “the inside” as well as big attractions of Washington. And not the least, we assure that you will remember this Gasque forever. Or that you will forget everything from the Gasque - both are indicators of a good time.

For the events and the dinners, we are using your info to print name tags, to reserve enough seats and to wait for you if you would be running late (if we can). The cost for the Gasque is not 100% fixed yet, but we are trying to keep it under $50.
