Meeting Theme

This year's Forum theme was "Leveraging Environmental Intelligence to Enhance Risk Management." Following that theme, the Forum focused on the use of weather, water, and climate data--together creating a foundation for environmental intelligence--to support risk management across the public and private sectors. This included agencies and companies whose operations and planning are dependent on environmental factors, as well as agencies and companies whose primary mission is to identify, analyze, and/or mitigate environmentally induced risks.

This year's themed sessions included:

Congressional and Executive Staffers
Federal Agency Leads
Space Weather
NOAA Big Data
Environmental Security
Renewable Energy
Water Resources
Impacts of COP21
Challenge.gov Program
