The newly renovated Crystal Gateway Marriott served as the backdrop for the summer's DOE CSGF Annual Program Review. Just as the meeting site has seen upgrades, the review agenda was also refreshed in response to program sponsor and attendee feedback.
All-attendee programming began with a Monday afternoon DOE Laboratory Poster Session, highlighting practicum, postdoctoral and employment opportunities and setting the stage for more focused conversations throughout the week. Tuesday’s schedule remained unchanged, but Wednesday featured an all-day, hands-on HPC Workshop highlighting the latest DOE supercomputer platforms and allowing for team formation, collaboration and networking. The event touched on the work of program alumni each day, and concluded Thursday with a special postdoc-to-career panel illustrating the DOE CSGF’s breadth and impressive, growing graduate base.
