ANITA 2020 workshop program

The detailed talk schedule for the workshop (Feb 6-7) will be announced in early 2020. We remind prospective speakers that they are allocated 12 minutes + 3 minutes of questions for their talk. A general purpose machine will be available but we strongly suggest bringing your own laptops, VGA/HDMI adapters and other associated dongles.
