The Accelerate 24 program is live!
Join us at The University of British Columbia for four jam-packed days of workshops, talks, lab tours and epic networking opportunities with the brightest minds in advanced material discovery.
In less than three weeks, researchers from around the globe will converge at the University of British Columbia for the third annual Accelerate Conference. Accelerate is an interdisciplinary event that brings together change makers in academia, industry and government who are shaping the emerging field of AI for science.
This year’s lineup of keynotes, speaker sessions and workshops is jam packed with experts; check it out today! Here are some of the highlights:
Day 1 - Aug 6
Get your conference experience started with a choice of workshops:
Democratizing self-driving labs (two sessions)
The essentials of scientific communication
World-class software: What is it? Do you need it? How do you get it?
Advanced Bayesian Optimization Recipes for Real-World Applications with BayBE
You’ll also have the chance to check out a selection of 100 posters.
Day 2 - Aug 7
The second say of our conference gets started with a bang as two of our three keynotes take the stage, Sergei Kalinin from the University of Tennessee Knoxville and Seiji Takeda from IBM Research.
From there, sessions in our three tracks get started: The Tools, The Materials and The Ecosystem. Participants will also have more time throughout the day to browse 100 posters and meet the researchers behind them.
The day comes to a close with a sold-out evening social at the Vancouver Art Gallery!
Day 3 - Aug 8
Continue hearing from our lineup of 75+ speakers in sessions running throughout Day 3. Dive deeper with a tour the Berlinguette Lab and/ or Hein Lab on UBC campus in between sessions. Sign up in advance is required.
Our day will close with our final keynote by Nadya Peek from the University of Washington.
Day 4 - Aug 9
Before we say goodbye, we have a final day of exciting workshops:
GCMAC 2024: Integration and automation of materials characterization techniques (two parts)
Machine learning for the design of photonic materials
Automation and the arts | exploring the aesthetics of the self-driving labs
Challenge meets solution: an unresolved research symposium (submit an abstract by Aug 2 of current research for a chance to have your poster featured!)
