It is most useful for experimental petrologists and adjacent high-pressure and planetary scientists, since this is an inaugural workshop aimed at building a dedicated U.S. community and capped at 80 in-person attendees, which makes real discussion of methods and equipment likely. Researchers outside experimental petrology, or those wanting a large conference with broad exposure, would get less from a small first-edition workshop, although a hybrid broadcast option exists for those who cannot travel.
Geoscientists at academic workshops usually wear casual clothing such as jeans or slacks with a button-up shirt or sweater, with no need for formal attire. Washington in mid-October is mild to cool, so layers are practical.
