August 21 - 22, 2025 • Pasadena, CA

Regisitration/Abstract Submission

We will have a hybrid symposium to allow for both in-person attendance and online broadcast via Zoom. The symposium is a forum for presenting and discussing astronomical research carried out at IPAC or in collaboration with IPAC scientists. All members of the community within IPAC, JPL, Caltech, and the greater Los Angeles area are invited to attend, but only IPAC members or those with close collaborations with IPAC are eligible to submit a title. The meeting will be streamed on Zoom, so if you are not willing to broadcast any sensitive results in your presentation, please contact the GISS co-chairs ahead of time.

Registration and Title submission link (Deadline: July 18, 2025): Click Here 

Please register if you plan to:

  • attend in person on any day
  • attend the reception
  • submit a talk title

 

Registration Information:

We are requesting that all attendees register for GISS to help estimate conference space, food quantities, and cost. The registration link above will prompt you to answer a few short questions regarding conference and reception attendance. While registration is not mandatory, providing your attendance information by the deadline will help the organizers make a smooth and fun conference. If you plan to give a talk, please see the instructions below.

 

Submit a title:

IPAC members (or those with close collaborations with IPAC) who wish to make a contributed science presentation are asked to submit a talk title no later than July 18 via the registration link above. The talks are meant to be informal and some levity is encouraged! The format will be 15 min (12+3 for questions) oral talks. We strongly recommend that the speakers be in attendance for their talks. But if you need an exception, please contact co-chairs ahead of time. Titles may be inventive. If the topic of your presentation is not immediately apparent from the title, we will contact you for further clarification to aid in making the schedule. Abstracts are not necessary. A preliminary schedule will appear on Aug 6th, and the final schedule on Aug 15th.
 
For questions, please contact Dave Cook (dcook@ipac.caltech.edu) and Anahita Alavi (anahita@ipac.caltech.edu), GISS Co-chairs.
