Fermilab hosted the 42nd annual Users' Meeting this week. The two-day schedule was packed with lectures, presentations and social activities. On Wednesday, June 4, the first day of the meeting, attendees heard updates from experiments here and abroad, overviews of funding agency budgets and programs and presentations from the URA Thesis Prize and the Tollestrup Award winners. Other highlights on Wednesday included: a public lecture on plasma waves and the Intensity Frontier, a demonstration of singing Tesla coils, and an Indian and Italian Festa in Kuhn Barn.

The photos below represent a few of those activities.

Streaming video from each of the lectures is available here.

Slides from each of the lectures are available on the full agenda Web page.
