The biennial SNOLAB Users Meeting is a chance to share the status of active projects, plans or ideas for future projects, exchange information about user experiences, and engage with laboratory management about facility and community issues.
This year's User Meeting is hosted at SNOLAB on June 26-27. It is scheduled the week after the NEUTRINO conference in Italy, and we are excited for projects to share new results and milestones with the community. This meeting occurs during a routine underground maintenance period, so access to the underground laboratory will not be possible. However, this affords more opportunities to engage in discussions on a range of issues, including research, EDI, governance, projects, and facilities.
Members of the SNOLAB User Community are invited to register for the event, submit abstract(s) for a talk and/or poster, and participate in this important meeting. Potential future members of the SNOLAB User Community are also welcome to participate, share ideas for future projects, and learn about the laboratory community, culture, and facilities.
This is an in-person event. With the permission of presenters, we will record talks and make those available after the meeting.
Ideally, we'd like to have registration and abstracts for priority consideration submitted by the end of next week (May 31). Please consider this the priority deadline.
While registrations and abstract submission after that is possible, we may not be able to accommodate them. We'd like to have some idea about how many registrants we will have so we can finalize the agenda, hotel room blocks, shuttles, etc.
Abstract submission is now closed. Thanks to all who submitted proposals for subject presentations and discussions!
Please use the Registration link to register yourself for the meeting. If you also wish to submit an idea (abstract) for a talk or poster, please use the Abstract Submission form after registering. Abstracts will be reviewed by the organizers before being accepted. We may not be able to accept every talk or poster idea, depending on demand. We will do our best to work with submitters to try to accommodate talks and posters that align with the goals of the meeting.
We especially encourage junior members of collaborations and projects (students, post-doctoral fellows, etc.) to submit abstracts for either talks or posters. We welcome multiple submissions from the same collaboration or project, but the organizers may (depending on the number of submitted abstracts) ask submitters and their collaborations to consolidate material for talks.
Talks should be planned for 15' plus 5' for discussion and questions. Depending on the abstracts we receive, we may elevate some of the proposed talks to 30' plus additional time for discussion.
