Local Meetups

This year, CCN is happy to complement our in-person conference with distributed, local meetups for those who are not travelling to Amsterdam. We provide the livestream, you host the event: simply book a room in your institution, fill out the form below, and get together with colleagues to watch and discuss the best science. You can of course add social events, local scientific events, or additional talks to your meetup if you like.

Disclaimer
CCN 2025 meetups are recommended to improve community involvement and experience with the conference but ultimately are organized and hosted by individuals. You are responsible for deciding whether to take part in a local meetup as a host or participant, including your own assessment of the host and the location’s safety and suitability. CCN does not organize meetups, and cannot be held liable for activities or consequences of local meetups; this includes health and safety consequences. If you have concerns about a meetup host or location, either before the conference or afterwards, please provide details of your concerns via email to .

Q: Is it a lot of work to host a meetup?
A: It is entirely up to you. The most bare-bones is simply to book a lecture hall/meeting space, turn on the CCN livestream channel, and watch together. You can choose to add food/drinks, opportunities for socializing, or even local scientific events (such a poster session or short talks). This is entirely up to you; make sure to communicate to your participants what they can expect.

Q: I would like to host, but my timezone means we would have to watch in the middle of the night.
A: It is up to you how you time your meetup - you can also choose to watch the recorded talks back during your day or even make a selection rather than watch all talks.
