As a CREWES industry sponsor representative, we hope that you are planning to attend our annual CREWES Sponsor Meeting which is being held November 28 to November 30.
This meeting wil be our 30th Annual meeting, and promises to be a meeting filled with fun and networking, and of course a lot of great research presentations!
We are looking for sponsors for: •Wednesday November 28th → ICEBREAKER •Thursday November 29th → BANQUET
Nov 28 7:30pm Reception and Registration (we are looking for reception sponsors!) Nov 29 8:30am-4:00pm Technical Sessions Nov 30 8:30am-4:00pm Technical Sessions Dec 1 10:00am-3:00pm CREWES Short Course (slight start/end time changes are possible).
The technical program is now available, please see link below. Please note that this program may undergo some slight revisions between now and the Sponsor's Meeting.
This year rather than holding 3 short courses on different subjects, we are going to try something a little different. Throughout 2018 CREWES postdoctoral fellows and students have been leading a Machine Learning working group, meeting biweekly to summarize their research and experiences involving the latest machine learning and data analytics tools. Distilled from their experiences, this year on the Saturday after the Sponsor's Meeting, four of our postdocs will lead a 1-day short course designed to introduce you to and/or refine your skills with current Machine Learning methods as applied to geophysics problems. A hands-on, practical experience is planned.
Please register (for both meeting and short course) by sending an email to k.innanen@ucalgary.ca with the subject line CREWES 2018 Registration.
A block of rooms has been reserved for the meeting, but the rooms are only being held until mid October before they are being released back to the general public, so please book your room early to avoid disappointment.
