8th Workshop on Nanotube Optics and Nanospectroscopy
(WONTON 2021)

​Venue

WONTON 2021 will be held at the historic Memorial Union. Since opening its doors in 1928, the Memorial Union has become one of the most popular and well-recognized spots in Madison. The classic Italian-Renaissance style building sits on the banks of Lake Mendota and boasts a picturesque lakeside terrace with 600 colorful sunburst chairs - now a university icon. Among its many treasures, the building houses a 1,300 seat theater, restaurants and delis, Wheelhouse Studios, and a German-style tavern.
