Yes, all the heavy hitters are going to be there, including three from Reich Lab...Reich himself, Patterson, and Lazaridis. Speaking of Lazaridis, he's going to present the new Anatolia paper, which won't be new then, of course.
This is where are the abstracts can be found:

So, the EEF were only 10% European hunter gatherer. The Near Eastern farmers who went to Europe were 60% G2a. I thought it might have been more. I'm really interested to see the 40% non G2a lineages.
Also, the Reich Lab has analyzed the British samples in Leslie et al, which is great.

[FONT="]Eversince the late 19th century archaeologists and linguists, using methods specific [/FONT]

[FONT="]However, today there is still no consensus in the many conclusions; several areas and time spans have been put forward as the “Indo-European homeland” and are yet a subject of debate. In the past year several scientific papers were published concerning specific features that could be determined, by using population genetic methods, in the skeletal material that had been excavated and analysed from grave mounds dated to the 1[/FONT][FONT="]st[/FONT][FONT="]half of the [/FONT][FONT="]3\rd[/FONT][FONT="]millennium BCE (Yamnaya culture) in the east European steppe area. The same features were then identified in graves of the Corded Ware culture in Central Germany, moreover in surprisingly high amounts. This population genetic shift has now been associated with processes that have been repeatedly postulated with regard to the spread of the proto-Indo-European language: namely, large [/FONT]
[FONT="]population groups migrated from the east European steppe zone into Central Germany, a movement that led to marked demographic as well as cultural changes. Have we come closer to solving the puzzle about the spread of the proto-[/FONT]
[FONT="]Indo-European lan-guage?In order to better judge this issue, we should be aware of the different levels at which the various conclusions have been made. Therefore, in my contribution I will focus on the Yamnaya culture which in general terms is archaeologically described by a specific grave construction and a specific burial custom. Following this I will[/FONT][FONT="]present a few sceptical considerations concerning the possibility of correlating archaeological evidence with the linguistic construct of the proto-Indo-European language."[/FONT]
