Conference program

This is version 14 of the conference program, uploaded 8 July 2022, unchanged as of July 10. On 8 July all ICON sessions were changed to the Elan Theatre. No times were changed for any presentation. On 2 July there was a change of rooms within each time slot. In addition, session 2C was swapped with 2D, 8C with 8D, and 11C with 11D. No times were changed for any presentation. In version 13, session chairs were added for most sessions in the Program detail section. There might be subsequent versions, but we will endeavour to change only what absolutely must be changed.

Room information

The Elan Theatre (all plenaries) and the Lynch Theatre (parallels) are in the HUB section of the O’Brien Centre for Science. Elan is also H2.21, “Theatre B”. Lynch is also H1.37, “Theatre F”. Elan us up the spiral staircase to floor 2, and Lynch is up to floor 1. Remember in Europe it is Ground, First, Second, …

B0.02, B0.03, and B0.04 are on the ground floor of the Computer Science Building (adjacent to O’Brien). Straight in the door as far as you can go, bend to the right, rooms on right.
