Our nation's rapid advances
in the technology sector and our fast-growing dependence on space-based
systems have resulted in an ever-increasing vulnerability to hazardous
space weather. We seek to raise awareness of the increasing
importance of space weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings to our
technologically affluent society and our future way of life on this
planet, and in space.
This forum will focus on the costs
of space weather impacts and the benefits of improved space weather
services with an emphasis on the anticipated needs of the user community
in 2010-2020. Space weather scientists and service providers seek
to better understand and serve society's needs for space weather information.
The forum will consist of speaker presentations, followed
by panel discussions designed to encourage productive dialogue among
all attendees. The forum is open to the public and is free, but pre-registration
is required. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis and
is not guaranteed after the pre-registration deadline.
