2020 Academic High Altitude Conference

The 2020 AHAC conference was held virtually due to COVID. Because of that, we relaxed our no paper, no podium policy and allowed people to present without a paper. Some entries will only have abstracts and presentation files and others may have a full paper associated with them.
