The 2004 CHESS User Meeting was held on June 18 and 19, 2004, on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The meeting included the dedication ceremony for CHESS's latest addition, G-line. G-line was also featured in this year's CHESS workshop. In order to accommodate the dedication cere-mony in the afternoon of the first day, the user meeting followed a condensed format: The directors' reports were kept to a minimum and staff reports were presented as posters within the general poster session. The User Meeting was opened by User Committee member Lois Pollack (Cornell). The first speaker was CHESS director Sol Gruner, who presented an overview of the achievements in the past running period, in particular the new mode of dedicated CHESS operation whereby dedicated X-ray production and high energy physics (HEP) interleave use of the storage ring.
