New for 2013! LISA ’13 will offer a “hack space,” available for informal mini-presentations by seasoned professionals, participation in live experiments, tutoring, and mentoring. Attendees can investigate and test new technologies, and interact with other attendees in a participatory technical setting.

  • Work-in-progress demos
  • Mentoring by on-site lab guru
  • Technology demos
