What Is Eternacon?

First hosted at Stanford University in 2015, Eternacon is a gathering of Eterna players, scientists, and developers. Originally only a dream among community members as a "Eterna Convention", the Eternacon was fully realized by <a href="http://www.eternagame.org/web/player/74251/">tomoedachii</a> and <a href="http://www.eternagame.org/web/player/102911/">vineetkosaraju</a>, who put together a plan that would allow for the first conference in 2015. In the past, the conference has included many different talks by participants about puzzle solving, scientific advancements, the community, and the future of Eterna as a whole, a tour of the lab, open discussion about the current state of eterna with the oppotrunity to make suggestions to the team, and the chance to get to know fellow Eterna players.
