The international conference PiNG, organised every 3 years, focuses on recent advances and current problems in the polarization, management, and applications of hyperpolarized gases. PiNG17 took place in Utah, USA. Chair: Brian Saam (Washington State Univ.). Advisory committee: E. Babcock (FZ-Jülich), T.R. Gentile (NIST-Gaithersburg), G. Tastevin (Lab. Kastler Brossel), J. Wild (Univ. of Sheffield). PiNG14 took place in Les Houches, France.
