The meeting will run over 3.5 days, starting Monday the 13th and ending on Thursday 16th at noon. Dinner will be available on Sunday the 12th. The meeting consists of general sessions, which are plenaries, and working group sessions which are held in parallel. Everyone is welcome to submit abstracts, and the program will be generated based on the received abstracts.

To submit an abstract and register for the meeting please follow the link below. There will be no registration fee charged for the meeting which is made possible by the generous donations from NuSTAR, Swift, and XMM-Newton.
