This is a virtual meeting on 11th - 13th May. To facilitate informal interactions, it will use a virtual conference venue in GatherTown, as well as having more conventional talk sessions delivered through Zoom. Connections details for both online tools will be sent to registered attendees.
To accommodate Rubin Observatory staff, the first day will be in the afternoon UK time (13:00 - 17:00 BST), and the second two days will be mornings (09:30 to 13:00 BST). Additionally, before the first day and after the second two days there will be two-hour GatherTown sessions in which to catch up with colleagues, read posters, and organise small group meetings.
Focus sessions are in purple and may take place via Zoom or GatherTown (TBC). Otherwise, others are plenary, through Zoom.
