12-13 April 2025
Talks all took place in Northeastern University EXP Room 610, 815 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02120.
Room 610 is on the 6th floor of the building.
To access EXP on both days, please use the door between the two buildings: EXP and ISEC and take the lift or stairs to the 6th floor. See the photos below for reference to the door. When arriving at either Ruggles Station or the Renaissance Parking Garage, go around to the other side of the building facing ISEC (the rounded building).
Note that on Sunday the building is officially closed and all doors are locked. Someone from the NU team will assist with entrance via that door between EXP and ISEC.
