The SLAC SLAM will be on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, in the Kavli Auditorium. Winners will be announced before 5:00 pm.

Participants are within six years of their Ph.D. and will represent their directorates within SLAC. It is not necessary to be an SLAC employee, but you should be associated with a SLAC project or department.

Winners are determined by a panel of judges. There will also be an "audience choice" prize.
