Kepler & K2 Science Conference V

Welcome to the home page of the fifth Kepler & K2 Science Conference! The conference will be take place from March 4-8, 2019 in Glendale, California. The meeting will be a celebration of Kepler's 10 years in space.

February 11 Update: At this time the preparations for the conference continue as planned. We do not currently expect that a government shutdown will require the conference to be postponed, but will notify participants if the situation changes.
