Plenary sessions fall under three broad topics:

• Topic 1: Energy storage and release – e.g., reconnection, eruption initiation
• Topic 2: Energy conversion – e.g., particle acceleration (electrons and ions) and plasma heating
• Topic 3: Energy transport – probing high energy solar phenomena using remote sensing and in situ diagnostics

Each plenary session will pair a series of related talks with facilitated, active discussion. This interactive format is intended to foster both broader and deeper collaboration and understanding amongst our community, to propel progress and enhance success by breaking down silos both within the high-energy solar physics and among solar and space physics in general.
