The SNOLAB Users Meeting Symposium brings members of the SNOLAB community toogether to present the work they are involved and learn more about the research undertaken by their colleagues at SNOLAB. The two days of talks provides the opportunity for SNOLAB Users to to not only share their research, but also acts to develop interactions between users and provide students and postdocs valuable opportunities for networking.
