2011 SVC Technical Conference Education Program
April 16–21, 2011

SVC Final Tutorial Roster

You do not have to register for the TechCon or be a member of SVC to attend the Tutorial Courses.

Registration for the TechCon Tutorial Courses is available through the general conference registration site.


SCROLL DOWN for the title, schedule and price of each Tutorial Course in the 2011 Education Program.  Each title is linked to the Tutorial Course description, topical outline, detailed syllabus and biographical sketch of each instructor.

1.  Tutorial Registration Discounts of 50% Offered for Unemployed SVC Members

The economic climate has left many industry professionals without jobs, and the SVC Education Committee has stepped forward to implement a policy that will support the future of our members and the vacuum coating community.  (SVC will need a copy of your letter of discharge.)

2.  Discounts Offered to Multiple Registrants from one company.

SVC is offering a 25% discount on each Tutorial registration for the second or more employee in a company who enrolls in any Tutorial  (Note: this discount does not apply to the Student rate). 

Note: For any of the discounts listed above, you will need to pay the full Tutorial Registration fees on the On-line Registration system.   Then you will send an E-mail to svcinfo@svc.org and request the discounted fee.  Discounts will be refunded after the TechCon.  

SVC reserves the right to cancel any Tutorial.  If a Tutorial is cancelled, registrants will be notified and a full refund of the tuition will be made.


How to Register for Tutorials

On-line Registration opened in mid-December 2010.  The list of Tutorial courses being offered, their schedule and cost are listed below the following Table of courses.

The fees for the Tutorials are the same for SVC Members and Non-Members; however, full-time student fees are substantially lower (SVC will need a copy of your student ID card).
