Virtual Agenda-at-a-Glance
GEER 2021 will be conducted on the Zoom platform and spread over a two-week period. The program will consist of an optional workshop, plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, lightning talks, round table discussions, posters, and DIG talks. Participants that are not part of a pre-approved session are encouraged to submit an abstract for a five-minute lightning talk with a maximum of five slides or a poster presentation.
All sessions will be recorded and published on the GEER web site and paid registrants will receive password-protected access for one year. We expect to keep registration fees lower than an in-person conference, but you should be aware that a successful virtual conference requires a lot of coordination and technical support behind the scenes so there are still significant costs associated with producing the conference.
