Quick summary: Join us in revisiting the ENC Conference 2024, where Tecmag, Inc. marked its 41st appearance showcasing our NMR, NQR and MRI technologies and spectrometers at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California.
ENC Conference 2024: 41 Years and Counting
In early April, Magnetica subsidiary Tecmag participated in an event we have supported for decades, and like previous years, it was a resounding success.
This year, our attendance at the 65th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC Conference), marked our 41st year of continuous involvement and exhibition at the congress, a testament to our long-standing commitment to contributing to the NMR and MRI scientific communities.
Hosted from April 7th to April 11th, ENC 2024 was again at the scenic Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California, providing a visually stunning backdrop and all the benefits of the Californian climate for delegates to enjoy.
Following Tradition: Four Decades of Continuous Tecmag Representation at ENC Conferences
Our journey at the ENC Conference spans over four decades, reflecting our dedication to and evolution within the magnetic resonance industry. This year, as in many before, the ENC Conference provided a perfect opportunity to connect with the scientific community and showcase our spectrometer technology, reinforcing our role as industry leaders.
Asilomar Conference Grounds Provides a Unique Experience for Conference Attendees
As mentioned, for the second year running, Asilomar Conference Grounds was selected as the venue for the ENC Conference. The region, known for its stunning coastal landscapes and beautiful natural environment, provided a unique backdrop and experience for delegates seasoned to expect a standard exhibition format for these kinds of events. The beachside setting fosters relaxed but engaging discussions and offers a tranquil retreat where ideas and innovations flourish.
Unlike other similar events, the layout for the ENC Conference spans many different free-standing buildings and “suites,” inviting delegates to visit vendors one by one and enjoy their hospitality in a completely different construct.
For Tecmag, our participation included hosting our visitors in the welcoming “Curlew” hospitality suite. Each evening, after the day’s sessions concluded, attendees were treated to an open fire, pizza, drinks and even a salad bar to recharge and share lively discussions. The atmosphere created was one of collaboration and camaraderie, the perfect setting to build professional relationships and exchange ideas.
The Tecmag MAG mug
One of our highlights each year is the custom promotional items we design for our visitors to enjoy, exclusively available at the ENC Conference. For 2024, we created the “MAG Mug”. The vibrant blue and white ceramic mugs, combined with last year’s 40th-anniversary cups, became instant favourites. Along with our Tecmag USB thumb drives, our supporters left our suite laden with goodies, making our booth a popular spot for visitors.
The MAG Mugs also provided a fun narrative for our social media as they “visited” different locations across the grounds, mapping out the experience for those unable to attend. Check out how the fun went down on the Tecmag Instagram account.
ENC Conference Program Highlights
The conference’s success can be attributed to the exemplary leadership of co-chairs Matthew Rosen of Massachusetts General Hospital / Martinos Center and Malgorzata Marjanska from the University of Minnesota. Their efforts ensured a diverse and enriching program that covered a wide array of topics, from small molecule NMR and solid-state NMR to the latest advances in MRI and artificial intelligence applications in magnetic resonance. The wealth of insightful presentations also featured biomolecular NMR, DNP, and other hyperpolarisation techniques, as well as NQR and earth’s field NMR.
The Tecmag brand received great recognition and support during poster and oral presentations, highlighting the impact of our technology on current research projects and underscoring the reputation of trust and reliability that we have earned over the years. With distinguished customers and institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Wayne State University, North Carolina State University, UC Davis, Los Alamos National Lab, Tel Aviv University, George Mason University, University of California Berkeley, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Max Plank Institute, NIST, ABQMR, and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory all endorsing our products and mentioning Tecmag by name we are encouraged to continue building and refining our market offerings.
Looking forward…
We are grateful to every participant who stopped by our booth and engaged with our team during the ENC Conference 2024. These interactions are invaluable as we strive to learn the future possibilities of magnetic resonance technology. We look forward to continuing to serve the scientific community and eagerly anticipate the opportunities for growth and learning at future conferences.
The annual ENC Conference is a great forum for scientific exchange, and Tecmag’s long history with the event is a testament to its commitment to advancing NMR and MRI technology. As we reflect on the event, we are inspired and excited about the future.
