This 2-day pre-session combines lectures, demonstrations,
discussions, and hands-on practice.  It is intended for a range of
practitioners from specialties spanning architecture, objects, and
paintings, from those with little or no experience to expert laser
users.

On Tuesday, May 12, 2015 participants will learn about the various
types of lasers available, safety, and how lasers have been used in
the treatment of cultural property.  Protocols for determining safe
working parameters for different materials will be discussed, along
with some of the most important current research on damage
parameters. Several lasers will be available for demonstrations.

On Wednesday, May 13, 2015 participants will divide into smaller
groups for practical, hands-on demonstrations and experience.  A
field trip will also be offered for those interested in cleaning of
exterior architectural surfaces.

Registration information: This workshop will take place Hyatt
Regency Miami (400 South East Second Avenue, Miami, Florida, USA,
33131-2197).  All workshop participants must also be registered for
the AIC Annual Meeting.  A special Meeting registration rate is
available for those wishing to attend only a workshop.
