Both days will take place at UW South Campus Center, Room 316 (1601 NE Columbia Rd, Seattle, WA 98195). The full schedule is available below.

There will also be 2 hackathons held in connection with the meeting. On Wednesday, May 14 researchers from Allen Institute for Neural Data will present the next installment of their ongoing tutorials focused on specific data sets. Registration is here.

On May 16, CoNECT (along with the CNC, Synaptech, and AIND), will hold a hackathon focused on novel neural engineering devices. Registration available here.
