The 2026 program will feature an exciting lineup of speakers and sessions, including:
• Compositional and conformational variability in vitro and in situ
• Automation, modeling, and validation in cryo-EM and cryo-ET
• Tomogram segmentation and interpretation
• Round-table discussion on Deep Learning and Community Innovation (Kaggle/SHREC)
