The Westminster Hotel at Le Touquet (France) hosted the Vlth Topical Meeting on Optics of Liquid Crystals from Sunday 24 to Friday 29 September. This series of international conferences gathers, every other year, the specialists in the field. For this meeting and with the agreement of the scientific committee, a double goal was set: first to allow a maximum of young researchers to attend the meeting, and second to widen the audience and the topics covered. It seems that this double goal was achieved. There were 88 delegates, an increase over previous conferences, and amongst them, more than a third were ‘new’ to the field. A greater diversity of countries were represented besides the usual ones (EU, CEE, and some Eastern European countries) delegates were attracted from Brazil, Japan, Korea and Mexico.
