July 28th - August 5th, 2021: FRB 2021 conference
We are happy to announce that the conference “FRB 2021” will happen online from Wednesday July 28th until Thursday August 5th (with a break in the middle; this date range is based on UT). The conference will be free of charge!
As you can see, the programme will include plenary talk sessions, discussions and late-breaking news (all via Zoom) as well as poster sessions (via GatherTown). We will also do PhD/PD mingle sessions and coffee-tea breaks via GatherTown.
All talks will be recorded and replayed in a mirror session. In the “A” sessions, (almost) everything is live (unless a speaker requests to pre-record) and in the “B” sessions the talks are recorded but the chairing and questions are live. Everything will also be streamed to YouTube and provided via a dedicated channel. 2-minute lightning talks can also be posted there. We will also use Slack for additional communication and discussions during the meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you at FRB 2021!
