ECMWF will participate in the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting from 12 to 16 January in New Orleans, Louisiana. Our staff will be giving presentations, co-chairing sessions, and taking part in panels as shown in the overview below.
This year, we will also have a booth in the Exhibit Hall (Booth 722), where conference-goers can visit us to find out more about what we do and discover how we plan to mark the 50th anniversary of ECMWF this year (ECMWF booth rota).
