The Chesapeake Bay Area Exoplanet Meeting brings together all lovers of exoplanets and related science from the DC area and beyond. This series of one-day meetings enable the sharing of ideas in an informal setting with the focus being on building collaborations and expertise.
The 9th meeting will be virtual, again! In keeping with the spirit of the Bay Area Exoplanet and the National Capitol Area Disk meetings, we aim to have plenty of time for discussion and building collaborations.
The agenda for the next meeting is posted below.

3:20 Discussion and Closing Remarks
The meetings are typically held at locations in DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Delaware. The next Chexo meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 14, 2021 and will be virtual. The connection information will be sent out via email.
This meeting relies on people volunteering to give contributed talks. We especially encourage visitors, new arrivals to the area, post-docs, and students to give talks. Also, we encourage you to invite others who may be interested in attending, including people from outside the DC area. Finally, please do not hesitate to request a talk even if you think that your presentation will be relatively short, because we aim to have ample time for discussion.
We also solicit 5-minute flash talks, so people are welcome to request a flash talk to showcase a poster or present other announcements.
Since we strive to have these meetings several times a year, we hope that everyone that is interested will be able talk about their current research in the near-term.
The deadline to request a talk for the May 14, 2021 meeting was April 23, 2021; however, you are welcome to submit talk requests at any time. Your request will be saved and considered for future meetings.
Please use THIS FORM to submit a talk request.
