Thanks to everyone for a wonderful conference! A special thank you to Bill Peterson for his incredible fireside chat which set a wonderful tone for the conference and got us all thinking about important science directions. That was followed by a great set of sessions and talks. The session chairs (Chris Mooers, Bill Peterson, Bill Sydeman, Marisol Garcia-Reyes, Jim Lerczak, Jeff Paduan, Ryan Rykaczewski, Samantha Siedlecki, Kerry Nickols, and Brock Woodson) did a wonderful job organizing interesting, well balanced sessions and keeping things on time during the meeting.

Congratulations to the student presentation award winners:

Thanks to Al Hermann, Noel Pelland, Dave Sutherland, Sarah Giddings, and the folks at Timberline for setting everything up to make this meeting run smoothly!
