========================================================================

The MVAPICH team is excited to host the 8th annual MVAPICH User Group
(MUG) meeting. It will take place from August 24-26, 2020. Due to
uncertainty around scheduling events caused by COVID-19 The MVAPICH
User Group Meeting (MUG '20) will be moving online. We expect to
resume a normal in-person event for MUG '21. All interested
parties will be able to join this online meeting for free.

MUG aims to bring together MVAPICH2 users, researchers,
developers, and system administrators to share their experience and
knowledge and learn from each other.  The event includes Keynote
Talks, Invited Tutorials, Invited Talks, Contributed Presentations,
Open MIC session, hands-on sessions with MVAPICH developers, etc.

This year, we will be holding special tutorials and demo/hands-on
session during the first day of the event (August 24th). Other talks
and sessions will be held during August 25-26.

We already have the following confirmed Keynote Speakers and Invited
