Hello everyone! I am the chair of the ASM Houston Chapter's seminar committee and I'm posting to inform you that our annual technical seminar will be on 5/21/26 next year, at Rice University, and the subject will be failure analysis. We are currently calling for abstracts for speakers (see attachment) - if you would be interested in presenting for an approximately 45 minute slot at the seminar, please send me your abstract by 2/28/26. A registration page for normal attendees will follow closer to the event, if you're interested in coming as an attendee. Hope to see you there!

Thank you for sharing this opportunity, and we're excited to see the Houston Chapter hosting a technical seminar focused on failure analysis.

For those interested in presenting-or for organizers looking to broaden outreach-I also recommend leveraging the ASM Expert Directory. The directory is searchable by geography and area of expertise, making it a helpful tool for identifying and directly connecting with potential speakers who have relevant failure analysis experience, including those who may not see this post but would be strong contributors to the program.

Wishing the committee a successful call for abstracts and a great event at Rice University.
