CCPi Show & Tell, and User Support Drop in
When:
8th September 2026, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
The CCPi Show & Tell is a fortnightly event where we have short talks from members of the CIL developer team, or the CCPi community, with plenty of time for discussion.
Note: next session our talks are a bit longer than usual so user support won’t start until 4:15pm
If you would like to speak at a future event don’t hesitate to get in touch. It doesn’t have to be a polished presentation, we are very happy to see a work in progress!
The ics file for the next event can be downloaded at: CCPi Show+Tell – Reproducibility of medical imaging and Workflows for optimisation of beamtime
