It has evolved into a conference series focused on young researchers from the mid-Atlantic region although anyone who is interested is encouraged to attend. The workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers across disciplines interested in causal inference to present their work and to exchange ideas. There will be 12 speakers and 6 discussants total (see schedule below).
