Description: A complete list of all the world's nanotechnology events.

• Events Schedule
  
• February 02 - 03, 2004
  3rd Annual Nanotech Investing Forum. Palm Springs, Calif.

• February 11 - 13, 2004
  Semiconductor Venture Fair III. San Jose, Calif. - Infocast has rescheduled Semiconductor Venture Fair III from February 11-13, 2004 to May 11-12, 2004. The event will still be held at the Wyndham San Jose. We need to make this change in order to give us the extra time we need to produce the quality of event that prior attendees, presenting companies, and speakers of the Semiconductor Venture Fair have come to value. We appreciate your support of the program and truly hope that you will be able to join us on the new dates.
