Forum Agenda | Register | Hotel and Other Info

NOAA's Aviation Weather Center is excited to announce the .Aviation Weather Community Forum., on April 14th through the 16th, 2009. This forum will be in the main auditorium of the NWS Training Center which is collocated with the Aviation Weather Center in Kansas City. The Aviation Weather Center desires to establish a forum that will continue on an annual basis, fostering ongoing and consistent weather collaboration between all aviation interests.

The format of this forum will break from the traditional structure of industry meetings and workshops. A limited number of speaker presentations and topics are planned, and they will be used to foster audience-determined breakout topics/sessions each afternoon. By diverging from passive audience listening to an array of speakers and topics, the forum aims to create a fully active dialog between all and generate tangible benefits for the Aviation Weather Community.

Each of the three days will be kicked off by a keynote speaker representing a different perspective of the Aviation Weather Community. The first day, presenters and the audience will define this .Aviation Weather Community. consisting of weather information users and producers. An afternoon panel discussion will identify the common missions, issues, and needs that bind this community. The second day will examine collaboration and will open discussions on common missions, issues, and needs. The third and final day will look to the future of the Aviation Weather Community. While it will be difficult to address every issue and solve all challenges we face during these three days, we hope to begin a sustained and collaborative dialog that creates actionable plans for enhancement and growth.

The daily breakout sessions will allow all forum participants to actively engage in the topics of most concern to them. A few breakout sessions will be pre-determined. Participants are encouraged to bring supporting material and informational presentations to the breakout sessions. Each session will be recorded and a proceedings document will be published after the forum.
