Fall 2024 Dates: TBD
Registration will open in the spring!
The Center for Adaptive Optics Fall Science Retreat provides a forum for researchers in the adaptive optics field to share current results and plan future collaborations.
The CfAO Fall Retreat this year will center around three to four workshops, with overlapping themes in adaptive optics. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers to exchange ideas and make progress in developing the technology of AO for both astronomy and vision science applications.

Shared Room: We have a limited number of shared rooms for those who are already coming with a relation or partner (pending on availability). While we will not be pairing roommates for this event, shared rooms are available for participants who wish to make their own roommate plans. Please select the ‘Single Room’ option if you are attending solo.
Attention International Travelers: Attendees must arrange for medical insurance to cover the period of the event. Since emergency-room visits in the US can cost thousands of dollars for those who are uninsured, the insurance is well worthwhile. Traveler’s medical insurance can be obtained online or through a trusted travel agent.
