About the GIDW:
This new virtual symposium (Global Inorganic Discussion Weekends or GIDW, for short) brings the inorganic (organometallic, main-group, materials, etc.) community together online! The name, GIDW is an homage to the popular regional conferences known as Inorganic Discussion Weekends that occur routinely in the USA and Canada (and around the world with other names).

Given the current social distancing policies and travel restrictions (due to COVID-19), many of our community’s standard conferences have been cancelled, preventing us from sharing our progress in science. To overcome scientific isolation and to celebrate advances in inorganic chemistry, we recently proposed this new initiative (GIDW) on Twitter, which was met with great enthusiasm. The first GIDW session on March 29th, 2020 was a tremendous success with an audience of >200 participants!
