Family Gathering and Networking Sessions

Family Gathering and Networking Sessions

The symposium will be anchored by two real-time networking sessions where we will gather to remember Professor Eastman — his teaching, mentorship, travels, adventures and family. We will be joined by the Eastman family, former students and colleagues.  The two networking sessions are scheduled so that friends from around the world will be able to join in at least one of the sessions.

Keynotes

The titles of the keynotes are pending, but the two keynoters represent foundational moments in Professor Eastman's career.

Keynote 1: Rafael Sacks, Technion

Keynote 2: Ghang Lee, Yonsei University

Academic Sessions

The 14 academic sessions represent the arc of Professor Eastman's career, from his early work in design cognition, through work in computer graphics, solid modeling, building product models, rule checking and BIM. The chairs are leaders in these fields, selected from experts and colleagues of Chuck's from around the world. A call for abstracts has been issued to solicit speakers for the academic sessions. Abstracts are submitted through the Eastman Symposium website.
