Program

The program for LOEX 2024 has not yet been developed. It will use last year's program as a building block (e.g., a plenary session for all attendees to kick-off the conference, followed by numerous 1-hour long breakout sessions) but will include some additional activities, such as a pre-conference workshop; roundtable discussions; grad student poster sessions and more.

More details will be forthcoming in January 2024 (e.g., once breakout session proposal acceptances go out).
