With regards to your request for information about plasma-related
conferences or meeetings (on sci.physics.plasma):

My own field is that of fusion plasmas, and so I am well aware of
some of the upcoming conferences. The two biggest ones would be:

Sherwood '97: Madison, Wisconsin (hosted by UW-Madison)
Monday April 28th through Wednesday April 30th

The full name of this meeting is "The Sherwood Fusion Theory
International Conference", and although it is mostly dedicated
to theoretical endeavors relating to magnetically confined
fusion, there are some presentations relating to fundamental
plasma behavior.

Abstracts are due on March 4th, 1997

There are three other (large) meetings that will be held at
approximately the same time:

* The Transport Task Force meeting (W Apr 23 - Sat Apr 26)
* The Numerical Tokamak Turbulence workshop (W 4/30 - Th 5/1)
* The Nonlinear MHD and Extended-MHD Workshop (W 4/30 - F 5/2)

There is a Web site:

and if you need more information, contact Jim Callen at:

The American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP)
1997 Annual Meeting.

At this moment, all I know is that this meeting will be held
in Pittburgh, PA on Monday November 17 through Friday
November 21. I'm sure you can find more information at the
APS website (http://www.aps.org/).
