LISA Lab

Back for 2015!

The LISA Lab is a dedicated "hack space" positioned right in the middle of the LISA conference. The Lab is uniquely equipped to allow you to dive deeper into topics you have explored throughout LISA. It’s also a great place to collaborate with your fellow attendees to develop, visualize, and test solutions to the challenges you face back at the office.

Office Hours

Join us in the Lab Tuesday evening through mid-day on Friday to take part in discussions with speakers and authors. We'll have LISA15 speakers on hand to answer your questions and continue the conversations after their talks. The LISA Lab Schedule will be published soon.

Develop, prototype, and test using the Lab's provided infrastructure:
