MATS Winter 2026 End of Program Party
Join us for the celebration of the conclusion of the last MATS cohort at the iconic Lighthaven venue!
At 9pm, we'll host a game of Alignment Jeopardy.
All guests are expected to read and abide by our Code of Conduct. Thanks for helping us keep this space supportive of new researchers.
Please bring legal ID even if you don't plan on drinking. Nobody without a government-issued ID will be permitted to enter.
A note before the event–a few people who've spent time at Lighthaven recently have found bed bugs at their homes. No bugs have been found here, and we've had the main common area treated as a precaution.
The risk is low–most of our programming is outdoors on plastic chairs–but we want you to have the info so you can take simple precautions if you'd like:
• Keep bags and clothing separately on hard surfaces like a plastic chair
• If you have any concerns, when you get home, 30 minutes in the dryer on high heat or 4 days in the freezer will kill any hitchhikers
We'd rather over-communicate on something like this than have anyone caught off guard. Feel free to reach out with questions–see you soon!
