+## Dates and Location
+
+- **Dates:** June 12-14, 2024
+- **Location:** Virtual
+
+## Registration
+
+Register for the event [here](https://forms.gle/pTsjRMEqsgCRo3VD8).
+
+## Logistics
+
+We will be using Zoom for the meeting. We will send an email in the days before the workshop with Zoom links.
+
+## Organizing Committee
+
+**Program chair:**  [Steph Prince](https://crd.lbl.gov/divisions/scidata/computational-biosciences/members/staff/stephanie-prince/) and [Oliver Rübel](https://crd.lbl.gov/divisions/scidata/mla/staff/oliver-ruebel/)
+
+## What to bring?
+
+* Bring any example data sets needed for your project with you to the hackathon. For any lab-specific data (i.e., 
+  data not in NWB), you should know how to read the data using Python or MATLAB and ideally have scripts ready for 
+  reading the data.
+* Bring your laptop with appropriate software installed. For installation instructions see:
+  * [**PyNWB (Python)**](https://pynwb.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install_users.html). 
+  * [**MatNWB (Matlab)**](https://neurodatawithoutborders.github.io/matnwb/)
+* For an overview of NWB software, see also: 
+  * [**Glossary of Core NWB Tools**](https://nwb-overview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/core_tools/core_tools_home.html) 
+  * [**Glossary of Analysis and Visualization Tools**](https://nwb-overview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/tools_home.html)
+* For an overview of NWB see the [**NWB Overview Docs**](https://nwb-overview.readthedocs.io)
+
+## Objective
+
+The [Neurodata Without Borders](nwb.org) project is an effort to standardize the description and storage of neurophysiology
+data and metadata. NWB enables data sharing and reuse and reduces the energy barrier to applying data analytics both within
+and across labs. NWB has seen wide adoption in the neurophysiology community, and there are now over 100 datasets on the
+DANDI Archive in NWB, including data from the Allen Institute and the International Brain Laboratory.
+
+The NWB Data Conversion Workshop will train users how to convert their data to NWB and publish it on the DANDI Archive. 
+We will work with members of the neuroscience community that want to apply NWB to their datasets. We will train 
+attendees, starting from the basics and proceeding to advanced data engineering techniques to maximally utilize the
+features of the HDF5 and Zarr backends. During this workshop, we will also introduce and train users on NWB GUIDE, a 
+no-code user interface for data conversion. 
+
+**Note:** This event is meant to foster community and collaboration around NWB, not competition. As such, this is really
+more of a "workshop" or "tutorial" than a "hackathon." There will be no judges nor prizes. Participants will be expected
+to bring data from their own lab, bring their own tool, or other relevant project and/or collaborate with others to 
+build integration with NWB.
