We’re pleased to announce that the SAMO website is finally (nearly) ready to enter the world and stand on its own two feet. We have recently added much more details, extra sections, and we are slowly filling up the profiles of members.

Abstract submission is now open for SAMO 2022! The conference will be held at Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida. The dates of the conference are March 14 -16, 2022. The venue is Florida State Conference Center.

The SAMO board agreed to build a web page for the SAMO group, that would be independent of individual conferences. The idea is to have a central home for all things SAMO, including details of conferences, resources, publications and more.
