Program
For some relevant information for your travel planning, click here.
In 2023, ALAN will consist of plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and poster sessions.
Talks will be mostly given in person in Calgary and will be streamed via Zoom. They can also be viewed on demand. All posters will be presented at a virtual poster session about two weeks prior to the conference and will be available online during the entire conference. Powerpoint and pre-recorded version must be prepared in advanced by an early date ASAP (see Registration section page for more details). Posters can additionally be presented in person during the main conference in Calgary.

- Invited plenary talks (25 min plus 5 min discussion)
- Contributed talks (15 min plus 5 min discussion)
- Poster sessions (Posters that will be physically presented at the conference should be printed in A0 portrait format (118.9cm x 84.1cm). Posters that will be presented only online do not have this requirement, but using a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio means that the poster will display on the screen without the need for scrolling).
- There is a 100$ prize for the best poster by a young researcher (maximum 3 years past PhD). Poster judges are conference attendees selected by the steering committee, and the evaluation criteria are the design, ease of finding information, ability of presenter to explain the results orally, and the novelty of the results. Example: prize winner from 2021, 2020, 2018 and 2016.
- Elevator pitches (40 seconds): Poster presenters will be invited to come up to the (virtual) podium, during the on-line event, to give a (maximum) 40 second pitch for attendees to come view their poster. Posters will be on display during the whole conference, but presenters are asked to be present at their posters during their scheduled times.

Procedure for Logging in to the Poster Session for the On-line Event on July 21-22, 2023
The Virtual Poster Session starts on July 21st.
As a reminder, the on-line event is open to every delegate, including those who plan to attend the in-person, hybrid event in Calgary, Canada, in August. During the on-line event, there will be a few talks, poster pitches, and time to meet, discuss and socialise.
To logging use the link and instructions you received in the email from Virtal Chair or follow the instructions below.
You can join the on-line conference venue at https://www.virtualchair.net/events/alan-2023. Instructions are provided on that site under How to Join the Virtual Venue and the Welcome Guide has a lot of useful information about the Virtual Venue.
To be admitted, you must use the email address you used to register for the ALAN 2023 conference. If you have any issues entering the venue or need help while in the venue, seek help from the helpdesk virtual attendant in the lobby, or email the helpdesk at [email protected] with proof of registration.
All the online sessions will start with a welcome from a session chair in the Plenary Room. To ensure you can log in and find the room on time, we recommend joining the virtual environment at least a half hour before the scheduled start of the session.
The times at which the sessions start can be found in the schedule below or using the link here.
After the welcome, one or two oral presentations will be made in the same room, and the speakers will be available to answer questions. Poster presenters will then be invited to come up to the (virtual) podium to give a (maximum) 40 second pitch for attendees to come view their poster.
When the pitches are done, the poster session will start. Poster presenters should go to and stand by their poster during this time. You can find the position of each poster by going to the "Directory" sign and clicking "X" to view it. After the official end of the poster session, we invite everyone to stick around for a social and networking hour, which will be in the lobby; the poster room will be available, too.
The virtual venue is open now, and you are welcome to explore it and start looking at posters today.

Time tables for ALAN virtual poster sessions on July 21-22 2023
Schedule of Events
Virtual poster sessions Landing page to enter the virtual venue July 21-22, 2023 The schedule of posters and sessions will take place as follows: Session 1: July 21, UTC 09:00 to 11:30 Session 2: July 21, UTC 15:00 to 17:30 Session 3: July 21, UTC 21:00 to 23:30 Each session will start with a welcome from the steering committee, we also plan the screening of one or two pre-recorded talks (still to determined) followed by a discussion with the authors of the talk. After that, you are free to roam through the virtual conference venue. You can join as many sessions as you want. THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE VENUE We use the Gather environment which some of you already know from the last two ALAN conferences. You can virtually walk around the venue with your avatar and enter the poster rooms. Stay close to your “poster wall” to be available for discussion. If you approach another avatar, a video connection will be automatically established. It is possible to access the virtual venue at any time between July 21 to August 13, so feel free to use it to meet other conference attendees or check out the posters and recorded talks. POSTER FORMAT AND AVAILABILITY The posters should be a single page PDF in either 16:9 or 4:3 format. When you are connected to other attendees, you can also share your screen to present extra slides or material. Deadline for poster submission is July 7. Please use the link you previously received by e-mail to download your poster file (PDF format) by July 7th, 11:59pm ET. Posters will be visible in the virtual venue. If you are not able to upload a poster file before the deadline, you will still be able to present your poster and have a spot reserved with your poster title by screen sharing.
