Schedule
Recording policy: SEI 2024 is a live event, delivered remotely over Zoom, and all workshops will be taught synchronously (some technical demonstrations or individual workshop components may be pre-recorded). SEI attendees are expected to participate fully in scheduled events, but may request to view recordings of sessions if they must miss a session. If the request is approved, the recording will be accompanied by a transcript generated by automatic speech recognition.
Note: All times are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Participants must have access to a computer or tablet capable of running Zoom.
We will be adding optional social events to the schedule for SEI 2024 later this spring.
