The 10th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation   was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 27 September - 2 October 2009  and was a huge success.   Attracting 681 international and Australian delegates, the conference remains the largest and most important forum for synchrotron radiation science and technology communities. International collaboration amongst  delegates from around the world  was further enhanced by presentations from a stellar line up of plenary and invited speakers  prompting a dynamic exchange of new ideas & techniques  amongst the worlds synchrotron science communities.

Message from Robert Lamb Director Australian Synchrotron and SRI09 Conference Chair

All indications are that SRI09 has truly been a success. This conference  provided an opportunity for Australian researchers to be part of an international exchange of ideas as well as an opportunity  to showcase our facility to the world. I thank all delegates for their participation and contributions to  both formal and informal discussions and for making this  conference a major success. We look forward to building on friendships established or renewed during this conference to create stronger links with the international synchrotron community.
