The International Conference on Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems (SCCS) will be held in Santa Fe from September 2 through September 6, 2002. The conference location and hotel will be the Eldorado Hotel (http://eldoradohotel.com) in downtown Santa Fe. Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems represent a wide range of physical states that are all many-body systems characterized by strong long-ranged interactions.
