upcoming LANDIS-II Training!

[Melissa Lucash]

Hello everyone,

 We are holding a LANDIS-II Virtual Training Workshop in May 2026! 

The workshop will be held on May 13 (Wed), 15, (Fri), 20 (Wed) and 22 (Fri) from 11a - 3p Eastern Time Zone, 10a - 2p Central, 9a - 1p Mountain, and 8a - 12p Pacific

This is a fast-paced, hands-on workshop, conducted through Zoom, designed to give new users the background they need to start running LANDIS-II. Participation is capped at 20 to ensure a high trainer: student ratio. Participants will also be able to select two advanced LANDIS-II training topics that will be taught in additional sessions in the summer/fall of 2025, scheduled with the specific topic instructor. 

Cost: $500 USD (Credit Card or Check only)

Instructors volunteer their time (except for the lead organizer who receives a modest stiped for organizing the event), and all proceeds go to the LANDIS-II Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 devoted to maintaining the code base of LANDIS-II. Your fee entitles you to 16 hours of training from a variety of LANDIS-II experts, two advanced training sessions (2-4 hours each), and a digital copy of the LANDIS-II Exercise book.

Payments will be processed by Sam Flake (LANDIS-II Foundation treasurer).
