GEO at AGU: stop by and see us!

GEO will be attending this year’s American Geophysical Union annual meeting in San Francisco with members from all five GEO divisions. We invite you to visit our table, where you can connect with program officers, listen to our Lightning Talks, and peruse our outreach material. You can also attend the wide array of talks, sessions, and town halls related to NSF programs.

NSF booth, #221, will be located in the 'NSF Neighborhood'. The NSF Neighborhood features NSF-funded programs, consortia, and facilities. Click here for a full map of the Exhibit Hall.

Have any questions? Reach out to GEO communications for assistance.

This year the NSF booth will feature a series of lightning talks by GEO Staff, followed by Q&A sessions. These talks cover topics pertaining to educational and career development, people and science, the proposal process, and GEO partnerships. Click here for the full schedule.
