### **Japan/Asia  • October 23, 2020**

Our miniCUP series are single-day events that focus on topics of current scientific research, technology and solutions. Listen to OpenEye speaker presentations and learn about the latest updates on Orion,™ OpenEye's Cloud platform.

The Fall 2020 agenda included talks by guest speakers from Specifica, Stanford University and *Drinks & Discussions*, a series of casual meetings where attendees had the opportunity to discuss several of the presentation topics in more detail with the speakers and other attendees. Live Q&A followed each talk throughout the day.
