When/where is the conference being held?

The 2025 MoML Conference @ MIT will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025 in the Luria Auditorium, located in the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. Public parking is available in Hayward Garage, but we recommend using public transit if possible to get to the venue.

​​

Is the hackathon in the same location as the conference?

No, the M-Boltz Hackathon will take place in the R&D space on the 4th floor of Stata Center, but it is next door to the Koch Institute. The hackathon will take place on Oct. 20-21, before the conference event, which is on Oct. 22.

​

Where should I stay if I'm arriving from out-of-town?

The Boston Marriott Cambridge and the Kendall Hotel are both great options and just 5 minutes walking from the conference location.

​

Do you offer travel stipends for students/postdocs visiting from out-of-town?

Unfortunately, we don't currently offer travel stipends though we to change this for future events. For students along the Northeast Corridor, Amtrak offers a 15% student discount.

​

Will there be a virtual option?

As with last year's conference, this year's MoML Conference will be in-person so there will be no option to attend virtually. That said, virtual participation is permitted for the M-Boltz Hackathon.

​​

I want to submit a paper that I submitted to another conference. Does this violate any dual submission policies?

As MoML 2025 @ MIT does not have official proceedings, submitting a paper you have already submitted to another conference that does have official proceedings does not violate any dual submission policies.

​

How big should the posters be?

Students with accepted papers should bring posters between 36 inches x 28 inches and 48 inches x 36 inches. Attendees with accepted papers are welcome to use poster templates linked here.

​

I am a non-MIT student. Is there a student discount?

There is free admission available to those with accepted research papers.

​

If you are not planning to submit a paper, but are a non-MIT student or postdoc interested in attending the conference, we have limited free admission so please register via the Waitlist as soon as possible.​

​​​

Am I automatically registered for MoML if I register for the M-Boltz Hackathon?

If you are a student/postdoc, you can request free admission by filling in the Student Registration Waitlist form OR you can receive admission via your accepted paper. If you are a member of industry, you may purchase a ticket via regular registration.​
