The CHESS User meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, June 3rd.
While the meeting will be held virtually this year, we have reserved a shared in-person viewing space in the Physical Sciences Building for local attendees.
Please note that this space is intended solely for watching the presentations—no handouts or refreshments will be provided. However, many presenters will be delivering their talks in person from PSB 120.
The selection of "Cultivating Community" as the theme for the 2025 User Meeting reflects CHESS's deep understanding of the role community plays in our collective success. By focusing on this theme, we aim to highlight the importance of forging meaningful connections, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other in endeavors great and small. This emphasis on community empowers us to drive innovation, foster growth personally and professionally, and shape the future together, ensuring an enriching and impactful experience for all. Please join us in celebrating at the 2025 CHESS User Meeting.
