About the Small Conferences

The Asilomar (early October) and Winter (mid- to late-January) Conferences are intended to bring experts together to discuss specific areas of new research. 

About the Fall Workshop

The Fall Workshop is a tutorial-focused event (learning a technique) intended for attendees new to a particular topic. This is not, for example, an event full of research talks. 

History of Topics Covered at Small Conferences and Fall Workshops

The committees do refer to the list of past topics covered to determine if a topic has recently been used at a small meeting or workshop. Go to topic history of all small conferences
