GLEAM 2025 is a two-day meeting (Nov 6/7) focused on new results in exoplanet science and planetary evolution. The event is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and faculty and will feature presentations, discussion, and opportunities for networking. Our goal is to foster collaboration throughout the Great Lakes area and highlight the work of early-career researchers. GLEAM 2025 will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin – Madison Department of Astronomy, and builds on the strong tradition of past meetings hosted at the University of Michigan, OSU, and Indiana University.
You can find the conference agenda posted here. Talks will be 8 minutes plus 2 minutes for questions. Poster presenters will also have the opportunity to present a short poster pop advertising their poster (more information here).
Location
The event will be held at the Pyle Center Alumni Lounge. This is located at 702 Langdon St, Madison, WI 53706. We suggest that participants arrive the evening of November 5th and plan to leave November 7th after the meeting concludes.
