The UEC is seeking symposium proposals for the User Meeting in 2020. Symposia are typically half-day sessions with six to ten speakers, organized by Foundry users and staff. Travel support of $2k per symposium is available and speakers receive free registration.
The User Meeting will take place on August 20-21 at Berkeley Lab, and the symposia will take place on the second day.
Submit your ideas here by February 7, 2020
