Sep 30 – The detailed schedule and abstract book are now posted!
The abstract book is now available! All talks and posters are included, organized by topic and sorted by first name of first author.
Schedule Overview
Due to the hybrid and international nature of the workshop, we have deliberately shifted the session timing as a compromise to best accommodate the broad range of time zones that we expect to participate via the hybrid format.
The detailed block schedule is as follows. All talks are 15 minutes unless otherwise specified. Specific session details with individual talks and titles can be found further down.
Please view the Meeting Code of Conduct that applies to both in-person and online attendance.
