Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the 45^th Silicon Symposium will be held from May 21-23, 2013 at the Overton Hotel in Lubbock, Texas, USA.

Located in the North West of Texas, Lubbock provides easy access to international participants and will be a warm location during the month May. The newly built Overton Hotel is located in the heart of Lubbock within walking distance to many restaurants and Texas Tech University campus.

Please mark the dates on your calendar and plan to attend. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and we look forward to seeing you at the Symposium.
