Welcome to the 6th Chameleon User Meeting!
WHEN: April 15th to 16th, 2026
WHERE: National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, CO
REGISTER:Coming soon!
Join us in Boulder, Colorado for the 6th Chameleon User Meeting from April 15-16th, 2026!
The Chameleon User Meeting is an in-person forum held over two days for users to discuss their research and education projects, share experiences of working with the Chameleon testbed, solve challenges together, and propose new features that will make their experiments and education projects easier. The User Meeting will have features to interest Chameleon newbies as well as veterans, end-users and operators, and researchers and educators. For our sixth meeting, we are grateful to co-host with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at its main campus in Boulder, CO. NCAR recently moved from an associate site to join as an official Chameleon site and partner as part of Chameleon Phase 4.
Please note, as the logistics and agenda for the User Meeting are still in progress, the information below is subject to change.
The 6th Chameleon User Meeting will include two days of programming. The first day is primarily devoted to keynote speakers and lightening talks from Chameleon users that dive into the particulars and lessons learned from their projects on the testbed. The second day features live tutorials given by Chameleon staff and mini-symposia on special topics, including ones from previous years such as teaching with testbeds, edge computing, and reproducibility. This year, we are excited to announce a new special topic for the User Meeting — how Cyberinfrastructure can better support AI and machine learning researcher and education.
We will release a call for presentations with specific instructions for how you can submit a proposal to present at the meeting. The top ten proposals will receive travel support and waived registration fees. More details to come in the Call.
We will charge a registration fee for general attendance. Take advantage of the early bird pricing once registration is open to get a discount!
