EXOplanet Meetings
Informal meetings about exoplanets in the DMV+ area
The Chesapeake Bay Area Exoplanet Meeting brings together all lovers of exoplanets and related science from the DC, Baltimore area and beyond (Delaware, Pennsylvania). This series of one-day meetings enables the sharing of ideas in an informal setting with the focus being on building collaborations and expertise.
CHEXO is an ideal platform for early career researchers to give 20-30 minutes talks and for everyone working in fields related to exoplanets to meet up 2-3 times per year on a Friday with minimal logistics (no registration fee, no hotel, etc.).
The initiative started in 2017 inspired by the San Francisco Bay Area exoplanet meetings. Before COVID-19, CHEXO became quite popular and we had about 60-80 in-person attendees each time.
