After much consideration and taking into account the health and welfare of our Denver X-ray Conference attendees, exhibitors, and staff as our top priority, ICDD and the Conference Organizing Committee have made the decision and are pleased to announce that the Denver X-ray Conference will be held virtually this year, from 2-6 August 2021.

We are committed to preserving the long history and high standards of the Denver X-ray Conference. Although our 70^th Annual Conference will look and feel a little different, the tradition of connecting our community through a virtual platform promises to be an exciting experience.  We welcome you to join us in this new endeavor, a Virtual 2021 Denver X-ray Conference.

If you already submitted an abstract to the conference, you do not need to resubmit. If you need to update or withdraw your previously submitted abstract, please email Stephanie Jennings.

From its humble beginning of 35 participants on the University of Denver campus, to a nationally and internationally recognized annual event, this year, DXC will celebrate 70 years as the leading annual forum on general X-ray analysis, including both X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction. Attendees to the World’s largest X-ray conference have access to sessions on the latest advancements in XRD and XRF. Workshops are run by experts who provide training and education on many practical applications of X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction techniques for the study of materials. DXC provides a unique mixture of sessions on training, education, and applications, including state-of-the-art techniques and future developments in X-ray analysis.

Plenary sessions have ranged from “New Approaches in Imaging” to  “TXRF Around the World” to “X-rays on Mars” to “Imaging at Current and Next Generation Synchrotrons” to “Safeguarding with X-rays” to “Minerals and Gems”.  Every year prestigious awards are presented at the DXC.
