The GLEON 2025 Virtual All Hands’ Meeting, 27-31 October 2025 will be held in GLEON’s online Gather meeting space following the usual weekly schedule and format for online All Hands’ Meetings, with working groups at its core (see Program Overview below).
The ‘local’ hosts for the virtual meeting are Ludmila Brighenti, Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais (UEMG), and Jose Fernandes, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). This is a unique opportunity to highlight the research at UEMG and UFMG in Brazil and beyond during the GLEON 2025 Virtual Meeting and to expand GLEON presence in South America.
The hashtag #GLEON2025v will be used for social media.
Registered meeting participants will receive an email before the meeting with connection instructions for the Gather meeting space, a detailed program schedule, and other meeting information. Here is a preliminary schedule of live sessions to help with planning your schedule for the week:
See below for more information about Workshops and Regional Gatherings.
Registration is now open. Please complete the registration form by Friday, October 17th, 2025.
The registration fee structure allows attendees to select the fee most appropriate to their situation. Registration support or fee waivers are available upon request via the meeting registration form (see below for more information). Registration fee options are as follows:
All participants must complete a registration form in order to receive communications about meeting logistics. There is no fee for those who are from and currently working in the host country and region (Brazil and South America) or attending only workshops or regional gatherings. For questions about registration contact Lisa Borre.
For anyone for whom the registration fee would pose a financial obstacle in attending the GLEON virtual meeting, you can apply to GLEON for support or a fee waiver to cover this cost. There are no geographical or career-stage restrictions on who can apply for support for this meeting, but limited funding is available and emphasis will be placed on creating opportunities for early career scientists and those who demonstrate a need. If you are a student applying for GLEON Registration support or a fee waiver, a poster abstract is required. For all others applying for support, participation in the poster session is encouraged.
Registration support and fee waivers can be requested in the meeting registration form.
The GLEON Student Association (GSA) workshop subcommittee is organizing three pre-recorded workshops for asynchronous viewing. The online videos will be uploaded and available a week before the virtual meeting. Check back for more details. Here is a tentative list of topics and presenters:
There is no fee for the workshops, but those interested in participating should complete a meeting registration form. A workshop Q&A session is tentatively scheduled during the virtual meeting live sessions. If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact the GSA.

Regional Gathering Flyers: coming soon!
Region Gatherings are free but require registration. For more information, contact Ali Ger or Rafa Marce.
The Committee on inClusive Collaboration (CCC) has revamped the Network Partnership Program (NPP) for virtual meetings. If you are New-to-GLEON and would like to have a mentor during the meeting or are an experienced GLEON member willing to help welcome a newcomer, you can sign up during meeting registration. The main NPP activity will occur on Monday, 27 October 2025, so if you are not attending the meeting that day, you will need to make alternative arrangements to meet your NPP partner before or during the meeting.
The purpose of the Network Partnership (NPP) is to help New-to-GLEON participants engage in effective, friendly networking and integration into the community of people and collaboration.
The exact terms of the networking partnership will vary depending on the particular needs of your partner. Here are a few suggestions that NPP partners from the past GLEON meetings have honored and worked well:
The Book of Abstracts includes information about poster locations in the GatherTown meeting space. A list of poster presentation locations is also available. Links to these documents will be activated before the meeting:
If you are a student applying for GLEON 2025 Registration support, a poster abstract is required. For all others applying for support, participation in the poster session is encouraged. If you are co-authoring a poster with another student, one submission is sufficient (no need to duplicate submissions).
Abstracts are also required for any attendee that would like to present a poster, including for New Sites, Site Updates, Research Updates and other Cool Things.
Organizers will provide instructions for uploading posters and other media files to a shared folder and how to interact with attendees via the GatherTown platform after you have completed registration. You can present your poster in either portrait or landscape orientation, but we strongly encourage a landscape orientation. We recommend a standard A0 format (1189 x 841 mm). Your poster submission must be in an image format (jpg or png), and the file size should be less than 5MB. Attendees will be limited to one presentation.
If you have questions about abstracts or the poster session, please contact the GLEON Student Association (GSA) organizers.
