The workshop will provide a forum to hear about and discuss progress on innovative concepts in fusion energy and to explore new ideas and proposals. As last year, a "Skunkworks" will be included, providing an opportunity for exploring novel ideas for fusion energy -- physics and/or technology. Members of the world-wide fusion community are invited to participate in the workshop.
