ISEC2020 is a family-friendly event – we plan to organise child care at the conference venue for anyone travelling with young children.

The first day of the conference is a Skills Showcase, with 90-minute introductory tutorials on deep learning, high-dimensional data visualisation, acoustics, spatial capture-recapture, multivariate analysis, hidden Markov models, point processes, and more.  We have several spots left in our Skills Showcase program – send us your ideas!

Do you want to do some science while at the conference?  We plan to organise lunchtime round-table discussions on topical issues, where each table takes a topic and works towards a plan for a paper they could write to address it.  Outcomes will be reported to delegates in a plenary session, and paper plans will be submitted to Methods in Ecology and Evolution as an ISEC2020 Special Issue proposal.  Send us your ideas for discussion topics at isec2020@unsw.edu.au.
