This year's Innovative Confinement Concepts workshop (ICC 2004) was held May 25–28 at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. The registered attendance was 151 persons.

This workshop provided a forum for an exchange of ideas through
presentations and discussions on the science and status of Innovative Confinement Concept research, and to provide feedback from the ICC community to the DOE Office of Fusion Energy Science. The program was organized as a series of sessions on scientific topics. In addition to invited talks on these topics, contributed papers were presented on experimental, theoretical, and computational work on ICCs. An innovative concepts session was included for highly speculative ideas. Comments on the workshop or suggestions regarding the organization of future workshops are welcome and can be sent to Bick Hooper.

The next ICC workshop will be held January 10-13, 2006 at the
University of Texas-Austin. Detailed information will be available in
the future. The proceedings of the previous two workshops are available online at ICC 2003 (Seattle, WA) and ICC 2002 (College Park, MD).

Local arrangements were provided by the University of Wisconsin-Madison plasma physics community.
