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.
...
All sessions are in Zoom, except for those in purple, which take place in GatherTown. Connections details for both online tools will be sent to registered attendees. Those new to GatherTown may wish to look at our How to use Gather.town for the LSST:UK conference page, while we also have a Slack LSST:UK Guide explaining the Slack channels we have set up to support the meeting.
