Scientific program

The deadline for abstracts for talk consideration has passed, and we are currently assembling the preliminary scientific program. We appreciate the strong response and thank everyone who submitted.

In response to longstanding community feedback requesting a more timely program announcement, abstract deadlines were adjusted this year. Additional details about the scientific program will be posted on the website soon.

All attendees are responsible for booking and paying for their own airfare. Please check with your PI, company, or home institution regarding reimbursement policies. We recommend booking early to avoid price increases.

For attendees awarded a travel grant, flights will be booked by our travel agent. Please follow the instructions provided in your award email, as privately booked flights cannot be reimbursed.
