ADASS2019 conference in Groningen coming soon!

Submitter: Marjan Tibbe
Description: The ADASS2019 organizing committee (with several ASTRON and JIVE colleagues) is working hard to make the annual ADASS conference a successful and enjoyable event.(ADASS = Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems).

The conference will be from 6-10 October at MartiniPlaza in Groningen. The International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) meeting will follow ADASS on October 11-13 at DOT in Groningen.
The conference provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical data. An important element of the program is to foster communication between developers and users with a range of expertise in the production and use of software and systems.

Some nice facts:
- 353 registered participants so far
- 49 talks of which 10 by invited speakers
- 183 poster contributions
- 12 booths
- 10 ‘Birds of a Feather’ discussions
- 4 tutorials

Social events:
- welcome reception at Academiegebouw
- conference dinner at De Rietschans, near Groningen
- telescope tour to ASTRON radio telescopes WSRT and LOFAR!

We are happy that there is a lot of interest in this telescope tour with more than 130 participants. This is an excellent opportunity to show ASTRON’s world-class telescopes to interested scientists and programmers.
