The meeting program combines the summer school, symposium and the satellite workshop (Innovation at the eedges). The program of the Symposium includes plenary talks in the morning, and parallel sessions (oral or poster presentations) in the afternoon.

The meeting will be held at Michael DeGroote Centre for Learning and Discovery (McMaster University, 1280 Main St. West, Hamilton, Ontario L8S4L8 Canada). Theexibitors are invited to set up their booths starting from 9 am on Monday, August 10. To view the layout of the venue, click here and for the campus map click here
