I-GUIDE All-Hands Meeting (In-person)

Chicago, Illinois

Thursday, Sept. 8 and Friday, Sept. 9, 2022

The purpose of the first in-person All-Hands Meeting (AHM) of I-GUIDE is to foster synergies across all I-GUIDE teams and provide a forum for collectively reflecting on the project progress made during the first project year and strengthening the plans for the next project year and beyond. The AHM is scheduled to take place on September 8-9, 2022, and consists of progress updates, group discussions, and interactive sessions to address cutting-edge convergent problem solving within the I-GUIDE context.
