To Add Additional Sponsors:

Please use the navigator tool, this should be located in the left pane, that looks like stacked papers. This will open the navigator pane. Most of the time the elements will be collapsed. I’ve renamed the elements so that way we can easily identify what are headings and what are sponsors.

 

You will need to find the sponsor container in the navigator, then either use the keyboard shortcut of CTRL + D or right click the element in the navigator and select duplicate.

 

To Add Another Grouping of Sponsors

You will need to find the element that follows the naming convention of the grouping, then either perform the keyboard shortcut for duplicate (CTRL + D) or right click the element in the navigator and select duplicate.

RF-ICP Workshop – Optional Workshop

September 16, 2026 | 12:45 – 17:30

Explore the latest advances in the Radio Frequency Inductively-Coupled Plasma (RF-ICP) method in this half-day workshop, held back-to-back with the TS4E conference on September 16. Learn about improvements in the technology and emerging applications for coatings, powder synthesis and spheroidization, and additive manufacturing from the global academic and industrial leaders.

Note: Education Course Registration is included in TS4E Registration.
