Abstract The idea for an international conference in honour of Peter Egelstaff arose several years ago as the date for Peter's retirement as Professor at Guelph came closer. His achievements in the physics of fluids, which probably first came to worldwide attention with the publication of his book “An Introduction to the Liquid State,” and which have continued right on into the present with the new techniques of neutron Brillouin scattering and single pulse diffraction, have had a pivotal influence in the development of the study of liquids, both theoretical and experimental. Throughout hiscareer, wheneverhevisitedplaces, Peter has spawned small local conferences of experts to discuss the latest developments. Indeed even at Guelph there were frequent “round table discussions,” which were not so much discussions about “round tables,” but rather were short(ish) seminars by visiting speakers followed by informal discussion, which at times could last for an hour or more.
