The purpose of the conference is to encourage the interaction of researchers in the Northeastern region, although participants from all regions are welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The format of the meeting will follow the format of previous regional meetings where all participants may present a talk of a 15 minutes (12+3 format). Abstracts will be selected according to the order in which they are submitted. Therefore, to maximize chances of acceptance, it would be best to submit an abstract early. There is no registration fee but, for an accurate head count,&nbsp;<strong>registration is mandatory<\/strong>. A prize for the best talk by a student will be given and so please indicate in your registration if you are a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Spacetime coordinates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>When<\/td><td>June 9, 2023 (Friday) &amp; June 10, 2023 (Saturday); See schedule below for times<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Where<\/td><td>University of Rhode Island campus; See below<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Full Schedule<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gravity\/egm23-schedule\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gravity\/egm23-schedule\/\">(CLICK HERE)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>List of Participants<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gravity\/egm23-participants\/\">(CLICK HERE)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Registration &amp; Abstract Submission <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/bJjc5pZgvifcyP5G9\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/bJjc5pZgvifcyP5G9\">(CLICK HERE)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Registration closes June 1st, 2023.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accommodations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While participants are welcomed to stay at any nearby hotel, we recommend the following options<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Holiday Inn Express Coventry<\/strong> special discounted rate is $149 plus tax.&nbsp;<strong>This offer expires June 2nd<\/strong>.
