Sponsored by the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics, the United States Atomic Energy Commission, and Associated Universities, Inc., an International Conference on High‐Energy Accelerators was held from September 6 to 12, 1961, with the Brookhaven National Laboratory serving as the host organization. The first part of the conference took place at the Barbizon‐Plaza Hotel in New York City; then, over the weekend, all the participants were moved out to Long Island to the Brookhaven Laboratory for the remaining sessions.
