Hawaii 2004 Joint International Meeting.

The article presents highlights of the 2004 Joint International Meeting of the society "ECS' in Honolulu, Hawaii, during October 3-8, 2004. Meeting attendees quickly adopted the spirit of the island with Hawaiian shirts or other garb, sandals, and an unhurried approach as they moved about meeting rooms in hallways open to the fresh ocean air. The meeting marked the 206th gathering for the Society, and was co-sponsored by a very gracious partner, The Electrochemical Society of Japan. Over 2,643 papers were presented in 46 symposia, with many sessions running on Sunday and Friday.
