The HAXPES conference is an esteemed gathering of experts from various fields, focusing on the technique of Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES). This promising technique allows the study of bulk electronic structures in different materials using x-rays ranging from 2 keV to 15 keV, with a probing depth of 10nm - 30nm.

Since its inception with the 1st International Workshop HAXPES 2003 at ESRF, the conference series has grown and evolved. The upcoming 10th conference in this series will be held in Pilsen, Czech Republic, from June 4th to June 7th. These conferences typically attract around 150 to 200 scientists and follow a single-session format, fostering a collaborative environment akin to the Gordon Conferences.

Over the years, several satellite workshops and conferences have been organized as part of this series. Here is a glimpse of the history:

1st Int. Workshop, HAXPES2003, Sep. 11-12, ESRF at Grenoble

2nd Int. Workshop, HAXPES2006, Sep. 19-20, SPring-8 at Harima
