The 13th Canadian Powder Diffraction Workshop (CPDW13) was hosted virtually by the Canadian Light Source, running from October 26 - 30, 2020. Attendees from around the world were treated to excellent presentations from leaders in the field, covering fundamental and advanced concepts. We had a wonderful turnout, with the conference photo below representing a fraction of the 100+ daily attendence.
