The day

What a symposium looks like

The monthly meetup is for keeping in touch. The symposium is where work gets presented properly: longer talks, an external keynote, posters and demos with real time to look at them, and enough of a programme that it is worth inviting colleagues and partners from outside the community.

It is also the community's internal publication venue. Groups present what they have built, students get a real audience and a line for their CV, and the whole university gets a picture of what is happening here.
