ADASSX

ADASSx
ADASSx is a special event of the Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) conference series. It will be held as a hybrid workshop from 1-5 August 2025 on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, Arizona USA.

The ADASS Program Organizing Committee (POC) is partnering with the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS), NOIRLab, Lunar and Planetary Labs (LPL), Steward Observatory, and Rubin Observatory to organize a “mini-ADASS” conference to be held in Tucson, AZ. As a locally organized event, meeting themes will focus on topics of special interest to the organizing institutions although all participants and contributions are welcome.

The meeting will follow the annual Rubin Community Workshop (RCW) being held July 28-Aug 1, 2025 and will feature special-topic workshops, tours and splinter sessions prior to the plenary meeting. The preliminary schedule is:

        Aug 1 (Fri)          Conference open following the Rubin Workshop
        Aug 2 (Sat)          Catalina Sky Survey tours
        Aug 3 (Sun)          Splinter Sessions
        Aug 4-5 (Mon-Tue)    Main meeting, plenary talks and additional workshops

As the only ADASS event scheduled to be in the US for the next several years, we will provide a forum for participants who cannot easily attend the main ADASS meeting in the Fall. As a special event, the ADASSx 2025 program will include plenary talks, posters, software demonstrations, and opportunities for attendees to organize topical interest sessions. These activities aim to stimulate further development of software and systems to meet the data science challenges of astronomy.
