The conference will feature the latest developments in position sensitive detectors from leading researchers around the world, and across a wide range of scientific disciplines. The conference has a strong multidisciplinary emphasis, and encourages cross-fertilisation and transfer of ideas between researchers working in many fields. In person participation is important. The PSD conference takes place every 3 years, with the first edition held in September 1986.

All sessions are plenary, starting with an overview presentation by a keynote speaker and then the research presentations on that topic.
