The program of the conference is now finalized !

As many as 134 submissions have been received, and reviewed by the Science Organizing Committee. Compared to the 103 contributions of the first edition of the AO4ELT conference, this demonstrates the increasing interest of the community in adaptive optics for the future extremely large telescopes.

Based on the SOC evaluations and taking into account the available oral slots, the program is made of 68 contributed talks and 66 posters, in addition to the 13 invited talks.

Talks are organized in the following sessions:

 Astronomy with AO

 AO instruments and pathfinders

 Wavefront correctors

 Wave-front sensing

 Laser guide star systems

 Atmospheric turbulence and other AO disturbances

 AO real-time control

 AO modeling and post-processing

All the posters will be up during the whole conference and we will have three dedicated poster sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, in addition to several breaks every day between sessions. Therefore, there will be ample time for everyone to view the posters, and for poster authors to get feedback on their work.

We look forward to seeing you in Victoria for what promises to be a very exciting conference !
