Program

Overview

We would like to have a combination of presentations, discussion, and hands-on tutorials covering (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Fermi-VERITAS-HAWC science results and works-in-progress.
  • High-level analysis software, data formats etc.
  • Data sharing, MoUs, flare alerts.
  • Synergies with multi-wavelength/multi-messenger partners.

Conference dinner

On Thursday, May 16, we will have a joint dinner at The Den Restaurant in Downtown Houghton. It is within walking distance from the hotels and we can arrange rides if necessary.

We can organize a joint dinner on Friday as well if people are interested.
