Chapman Conferences
Chapman Conferences are small, highly focused meetings that provide significant time for discussion and interaction among the participants. Often held in locations selected because they offer few distractions from the meeting program or because they provide opportunities for relevant side trips.
Chapman Conferences are topical meetings designed to permit organized and in-depth exploration of specialized subjects in a manner not possible at large meetings. They encourage disciplinary and newly emerging research fields and problem areas, or for revisiting areas where recent developments warrant a new look. The typical size of Chapman Conferences is around 125 participants, although successful meetings have been held with as few as 50 attendees. An attempt is made to encourage significant attendance by graduate students and foreign scientists through travel grants and, in the case of students, reduced registration fees.
