#ABL2024

We are glad to announce we will host our flagship annual online conference for the fifth time this year. The event will take place on the 4-5th of November 2024 and will be broadcast online on our YouTube channel for registered participants (save the date in your calendar).

Like the preceding years, the conference will be organised in 3 sessions per day to cover every time zone possible. During each session, we’ll have the pleasure to listen to one 45min plenary talk, as well as four 15 min presentations. It will also be possible to watch posters during the conference, on your own time, as well as during dedicated sessions. We will organise informal Meet the PI sessions as well as workshops during the conference. Finally, it will be possible to interact with the ABL community through a dedicated discord server during the entire conference.

A sense of community

To ensure a great conference, attendees must read and follow the conference code of conduct.

To foster interactions between participants, we have created a Discord group for the conference. We are planning to make better use of Discord as a central hub for all conference related activities this year. You will be able to get updates regarding the conference, engage in some fun networking activities before the conference and discuss with presenters during the conference. Joining the group is as simple as clicking on the link you will get after you register for the conference! See you on Discord!
