Recent advances in the physics basis for fusion energy, combined with the emergence of new enabling technologies, have increased the imperative for the development of technology to deliver the promise of fusion energy. TOFE 2024 invites scientists, engineers, and fusion industry leaders from around the world to discuss how their scientific research and technology development are enabling this pivot. A mix of invited and contributed talks will cover topics such as fusion pilot plant studies, system and component design, enabling technologies, and industry facility needs. Tours of various fusion energy related facilities will be available. Madison, Wisconsin is one of the country’s breeding grounds for the pursuit of commercial fusion energy, and its four lakes will provide a scenic summer venue.
