Register Now for the LISA Symposium!

Shane Larson Northwestern University

The 12th International LISA Symposium will take place 8-13 July 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. Register before Wednesday, 24 January, to get the early rate!

The LISA Symposium will feature a program dedicated to gravitational wave astrophysics, with particular emphasis on sources that can be observed in the millihertz band by LISA, the current status and unique challenges in gravitational theory and analysis for LISA sources, and the latest updates on the development of the LISA mission.

LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be the European Space Agency's third large-class mission and the first space-based gravitational-wave observatory. It will consist of three spacecraft separated by 2.5 million km in a triangular formation, following Earth in its orbit around the Sun. Launch is expected in 2034.

Reserve your room at The Westin Chicago River North to ensure you receive the group rate. Abstract submission will be available at a later date.

The symposium is hosted by the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA) at Northwestern University and co-sponsored by the American Astronomical Society.

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago next summer!
