Gerold Yonas, who initiated this series of conferences with Beams '75 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, gave a stimulating keynote address entitled "Beams 2020" where he looked backward and forward approximately 20 years. The summary session was ably represented by J. Pace VanDevender of the USA reviewing advances in Ion Beams and ICF, Dmitri Ryutov of Russia reviewing Electron Beams, Henri Doucet of France reviewing Microwaves and Free Electron Lasers, Gennady A. Messyats of Russia reviewing Pulsed Power and Accelerator Technology, and Ravi Sudan of the USA reviewing Applications and Z-Pinches. Although the texts of the keynote address and summary papers are not included in these proceedings, each of these sessions is recorded on VHS video tape along with the other eight invited oral sessions. Copies of the video tapes, along with limited extra copies of these proceedings, will be available from Maxwell Laboratories, Inc., host of the Beams '94 Conference to be held in San Diego California, June 20-24, 1994. (See future Beams '94 announcements, or contact Roger White, Beams '94 Co-chairman for details.) The Beams 92 Conference was special for several reasons. The scientific papers were of high quality and, taken together, represented a complete picture of the world effort in the field of high-power particle beams.
