The lunch session is designed to delve into the fundamental aspects of multiband (MBI), multispectral (MSI), and hyperspectral (HSI) imaging in a welcoming setting that invites learning, inquiry, and exchange. The first part of the session will include an invited presentation on light-matter interaction focusing on the phenomena that provides the foundation for MBI, MSI and HSI. The second part of the session shifts from phenomena to technique and will include two invited presenters to cover MBI and imaging spectroscopy (MSI and HSI). The presenters will define these techniques and their principles of operation, highlighting advantages and limitations of the techniques with case studies of applications and media. Presenters will also touch on instrumentation and requirements for setup, calibration, processing, and analysis. Other important topics include the knowledge required to acquire and interpret spectral data and variations in equipment setups and corresponding general price points. Each of the presentations will be followed by time for Q&A and a resource document will be assembled to share with participants. The session will be recorded as an intended resource for the community.

The session is continuing to be co-developed with the invited speakers and representatives from Imaging Working Group (IWG), Book and Paper Specialty Group (BPG), Photographic Materials Group (PMG), and Research and Technical Studies Specialty Group (RATS).

The lunch session fits into a larger imaging program at the Annual Meeting that will include a joint specialty session looking at case studies of applications and interpretation (BPG, PMG, RATS), and a concurrent general session (pulling together a range of media, techniques, and applications). The lunch will be held at the beginning of the conference to lay a foundation for the joint and concurrent general sessions.

Want to get to know more of your fellow objects conservators, but sometimes feel at a loss as to where to start? Stay after the Objects Session on May 29 for this new pre-reception event. Held at the meeting hotel Hyatt Regency and offered at no cost - this event will feature speed networking sessions. Note this event does require registration. No food and beverage will be served, but the Objects Specialty Group Reception at Brit's Pub follows this event. Walk over to Brit's Pub together with your newly met colleagues and toast the future.
