Open House

Each year, we invite our friends, colleagues and invited to join us for two hours of enlightening talks, hands-on demos, snacks and drinks! We work hard to make our Open House a fun and educational soirée. Guests are free to roam about, explore our visualizations, enjoy snacks and drinks, and of course ask questions!

Click the image on the right to see the 2012 invitation, which contains more pictures and information about the year's visualizations, publications, tools, and Places & Spaces Mapping Science exhibits.

Details about our 2013 Open House will be available in the fall. If you can't make it to the Open House in person, you will be able to connect live via Adobe Connect or Skype.
