Tentative location for this event is IU Jacobs School of Music's MAC 070 (panoramic view). We will actually be in MAC066.
Here's the flyer and the agenda for the event. Proceedings will be recorded by Bloomington Gramophone.
We also acknowledge the expert assistance of IU Conferences.
Our goal is for this event to be a full-day campus-wide event.
    
Goal remains increased collaboration between students at IU QSEc and the rest of the CQT.
Going back to Indiana National Lab Day (in October 2019) here's a video with Jeff Zaleski (IU) and Yong Chen (Purdue QSEI).
We have a few other distinguished guests from Canada, the UK and the CQT that we've invited for this event (so watch this space for updates).
In addition to these milestones any additional events that develop will be indexed/recorded here as they occur.

Next year's online proceedings will be available here.
