In October 2014, we will hold the fourth joint meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society with the nuclear physicists of the Physical Society of Japan (JPS).  The previous meetings in 2001, 2005, and 2009 were outstanding successes.

Hawaii 2014 will be held at the Hilton Waikoloa Village on Hawaii’s Big Island, 7-11 October, 2014.  In addition to showcasing exciting nuclear physics, Hawaii 2014 is intended to foster cooperation, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas among the nuclear scientists from Japan, the U.S., and other Pacific Rim countries.  It will provide an opportunity for students from Japan and the U.S. to meet and discuss their visions of careers in the field of nuclear physics.

The venue for this year’s joint meeting, the Hilton Waikaloa, is the same as for the 2009 meeting and is located just 18 miles north of the Kona International Airport.

Complete Conference Coordinators, Inc. has negotiated a very favorable rate for the meeting.  The resort is located on a 62 acre parcel on the ocean, has ample meeting space, and a 4 acre lagoon for snorkeling and swimming with dolphins.  It is near a shopping center with several restaurants and a food court.  The venue is near Mauna Kea and the Keck and Sunaru Observatories.
