WLCG Collaboration Workshop, in conjunction with CHEP 2012

→ US/Eastern
New York

New York

All WLCG sessions will be held at the Kimmel Center.
Description
The agenda for the WLCG Workshop is currently being prepared and is likely to cover recent operational experience and future plans, together with experiment-site sessions, as in previous such events.

The outline agenda is:

  • Saturday morning: operations issues - focus on requirements for 2012 and LS1 in particular
  • Saturday afternoon: experiment-site discussions (in series)
  • Sunday: future directions and plans, e.g. based on the outcome of the WLCG MB review of the Technical Evolution Groups (TEGs) reports (see below).

The TEG reports are here under the "Technical Evolution Strategy" folder. Note, that you have to be signed in in order to be able to see the folder.

A social event is foreseen for Saturday evening: The LOC has arranged a WLCG reception at the Rosenthal Pavilion, a glass-enclosed ballroom at the top of the Kimmel Center on Saturday, May 19th. Admission to the reception is included in the WLCG registration fee.
