During the conference there will be an opportunity to participate in, and organise your own, smaller meetings with fellow attendees on boutique topics of relevance. The sessions are a feature of the CHEP conference series and are referred to as `birds-of-a-feather' sessions! CHEP is a wonderful opportunity to gather collaborators together you normally only see virtually. There are several venues that may be reserved for BoF sessions, with varying availability.
| Venue | Available times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hall F | Parallels, Wed PM | Multiple groups of 10-12 |
| Riverbank Boardroom (RB) | Parallels, breaks | Small group, screen |
| Riverbank rooms (R1 - R8) | Lunch [Mon, Tue, Thu only] | Large group, projector |
