Subject: [Evntech] Eleventh IVS Technical Operations Workshop (TOW2021)
as virtual meeting
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2021 19:50:43 +0000

> Dear Stations, Previous TOW Participants, and Correlator Staff,
>
> I’m pleased to announce that we will organize an IVS Technical
> Operations Workshop (TOW) at the beginning of May (May 3-5, 2021)
> as a virtual meeting. As usual, the meeting will be oriented
> towards training and problem resolution in VLBI operations; this
> year’s TOW is intended to focus on VGOS. Given the virtual nature
> of this year’s installment, the hands-on part of TOW will be largely
> reduced. However, we felt it to be important to continue training
> and not to have a lapse of four years between workshops.
>
> As in past workshops, the intended audience for this meeting is
> the technical staff of the stations. We plan on having Zoom live
> sessions in the mornings (U.S. East Coast time) of May 3-5, spread
> over 3-4 hours, plus several pre-recorded presentations. Only reg-
> istered participants will be able to attend the presentations. In
> order to get a head count of the expected crowd, we ask that you
> register on the TOW website; please do so no later than April 5.
>
> In addition to the TOW workshop itself, it is also planned to tag
> on a workshop about mixed-mode correlation directly following the
> TOW on May 6-7, also virtually. The intended audience here is the
> correlator staff of the correlators that will process VGOS data
> together with legacy S/X data. We ask the correlator personnel to
> indicate their intent to participate also by April 5.
>
> The TOW webpage is being set up and will go live very soon at
> https://www.haystack.mit.edu/conference-2/TOW2021.
> The page will be updated when additional information becomes
> available.
>
> We hope to see you virtually in the first week of May.
>
> Regards,
