June 22, 2023

We are pleased to announce NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) is organizing the 2023 Space Weather Enterprise Forum on June 22, 2023, in Washington, DC on behalf of the Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services (ICAMS). This year’s theme is “Harnessing Partnerships to Meet the Challenges of Extreme Space Weather.”

We are preparing a slate of space weather policy and technology experts to explore this year’s theme. The forum will:
I. Provide updates on the progress toward addressing the mandates outlined in the Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow (PROSWIFT) Act
II. Discuss vulnerabilities of our technological infrastructure to space weather impacts III. Support actions being taken to prepare for and respond to space weather impacts

IV. Highlight partnership opportunities between the government, commercial, and academic stakeholders
V. Highlight the outstanding gaps and challenges yet to come as we approach the solar maximum phase of solar cycle 25     

The Forum brings together a blended audience of space weather experts from both research and operations, space weather users from the public and private sectors, academia, international
representatives, and policymakers. If you know someone who should be a space weather information user who doesn’t know it yet, please forward this message to them. One of our objectives is continuing outreach and education to raise awareness of space weather effects on systems and humans and to provide information on available services.

Online registration is open. Register by 11:59 PM EDT on June 1 for in-person attendance. Remote attendees can register through June 16. Further details can be found on the meeting website.
