+## Report
+
+The combined report for NeuroDataReHack 2023 and the Open Neurodata Showcase 2023 is now available online at [[PDF (GitHub)](../HCK16_2023_Granada_RH/report/Report__NeuroDataReHack_2023.pdf)] [[LaTeX (Overleaf)](https://www.overleaf.com/read/gzpkpyzcrvfr#1400b0)].
+
+## Dates and Location
+
+- **Dates:** June 26, 9 - 10:30AM PDT (UTC-7) 2024
+- **Location:** Virtual in Gather (link to be shared closer to the event date)
+
+## Objective
+[The DANDI Archive](http://dandiarchive.org) now has 199+ neurophysiology datasets in the 
+[Neurodata Without Borders](http://nwb.org) format  spanning many species, brain  areas, task types, and imaging 
+modalities. These include high-value datasets, e.g. from [Allen Institute OpenScope](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/search?search=openscope), the [MICrONS project](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000402), and the 
+[International Brain Laboratory Brain Wide Map](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000409), as well as diverse contributions from neuroscience labs around the world.
+
+In this event, we organize a virtual poster session in the Gather platform to bring together data contributors
+and anyone interested in reusing existing neurophysiology data.
+This virtual event offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage in discussions, explore dandisets, 
+and allows data contributors to showcase their projects.
+
+## Eligibility
+
+This virtual event is open to anyone interested in neurophysiology data, including but not limited to:
+* Neuroscience graduate students, post-docs, and other researchers interested in using open data in their research
+* Educators who want to use real datasets in their lessons
+* Undergraduates and high school students interested in learning about neuroscience
+* Open science advocates
+
+## Application
+
+If you are interested in **attending** the event, register [here](https://forms.gle/amPd4h5kN9BPLX4g7). 
+
