As we head into 2024, we have compiled a list of events we would like to host in the New Year. We hope to make this a mix of both community-building events as well as informational events that help us understand the research that is going on in the sphere of PDE. We very much want and welcome feedback on these topics or additional topics you would like to see covered. If you know of anyone who would be a valuable speaker, please let us know. This list of speakers is of yet unconfirmed, so we remain flexible as we move forward.
