Small changes in scheduling could still happen. Check back here.
We will host three 30-minute virtual Poster Sessions (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 12:30-13:00 MDT) in addition to two social/topical gatherings (Monday and Tuesday from 14:00-15:00 MDT). These events will be hosted using Gather.Town, a virtual environment that runs in your web browser with a 90’s video game feel. The link to join this virtual meeting space will be circulated to registered attendees. Gather.Town allows attendees to walk around a virtual meeting space, play games, and video chat with those nearby. Numerous virtual conferences have used it and we think it provides a fun way of capturing that “bumping into colleagues” aspect of conferences that is lacking in Zoom sessions. See the poster page for more details on the poster session.
Contributed talks are 15 minutes long, including short Q&A's using the chair to moderate questions from the chat. See above for the timing of talks and breaks.
