GCRI has updated our conferences directory in several ways.  First, for past conferences, we added links to conference papers, output documents, conference videos, and so forth, as available. The idea is to make the conferences directory not only a resource for finding future events, but also a library of information from GCR conferences from around the world. Conferences provide some of the most recent and relevant GCR information from expert sources, so making their contents easily available is important. Second, we updated past conferences to include their 2014 dates and locations, as available. Finally, we added five new conference to the list, bringing the total to 71, although some of them have passed.

Please contact us if you have recommendations of new conferences, new conference dates, or conference material.

Here are a few examples of resources from past conferences that we added in brackets:
