Advanced Light Source 2021 User Meeting

The Advanced Light Source (ALS) held its annual user meeting August 10–13, 2021, co-chaired by Users’ Executive Committee (UEC) members Alex Frano and Hope Michelsen. Like the 2020 virtual meeting, this year’s event was on the now-familiar Zoom platform with the elements of in-person user meetings. A benefit of the virtual platform was the increased number of people who could attend; almost 400 attendees on six different continents joined the plenary sessions.
