Dear Attendees,
Thanks to the generosity of our partners at the University of California, Irvine, this event will now be held as a hybrid conference, with an in-person component at the prestigious Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering, located in the heart of Orange County, Southern California. We would like to invite you to attend the in-person event and interact with a diverse group of researchers, students, and industry partners from the region. The UCI Physiology and Biophysics Department, Center for Translational Vision Research, and UCI donors have graciously offered to sponsor breakfast and lunch meals during your attendance.
The hybrid format will accommodate both in-person and remote participants and will be broadcast live at the Beckman Center and to global virtual audiences. Note poster sessions and career roundtables will still be held virtually during the meeting, and in-person attendees will be provided with individual secluded areas to participate virtually in these sessions. Please bring your laptops and earphone devices to participate in the virtual poster sessions and career roundtables.
To attend in-person you will need to pay the registration fee for the virtual event through the Keystone Symposia website. During checkout, you will be given the option to RSVP to the in-person event. There is no additional registration fee for attending in-person.
