Possible Themes

Jim Rogers, Duke Energy
Jim Hansen, NASA
Someone from UTK Baker Center (http://bakercenter.utk.edu/main/)
Potential Breakout Tracks

- communicating with public
- using social media for communication
- using visualizations as communication methods
Technical Workshops
Education Workshops
Open Meeting Day
NASA Standards Process Group - All day, July 22 - Tentative topic: Reference Architectures and Standards for Decadal Survey Data Systems
