The fourth meeting will be hosted by the University of Maryland, College Park. In keeping with the spirit of the Bay Area Exoplanet and the National Capitol Area Disk meetings, there will be plenty of time for discussion and building collaborations. We are soliciting contributed talks, with a special focus on talks from students, post-docs, and visitors. Since we plan to have these meetings several times a year, we hope that everyone that is interested will be able talk about their current research.
Each meeting also features invited speakers.

This meeting relies on people giving talk. We especially encourage visitors, new arrivals, students, and postdocs to give talks. Please also invite others who may be interested in attending, including people from outside the Bay Area. Please do not hesitate to request a talk even if you think that your presentation will be very short; we have found that even the most simple talks usually need 20 minutes to allow for adequate discussion. The deadline for the next meeting has now closed.
