The The Great Lakes Beyond-Standard-Model Workshop is a small, one-day conference series on beyond the Standard Model phenomenology in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology that rotates annually throughout the Midwest.
The previous iteration was held at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (https://hep-ph.physics.illinois.edu/symposia/), and this year's will be December 2nd at the University of Chicago.
We hope this workshop builds new connections between physicists across the greater Midwest area, and we are excited to see everyone in Chicago!
