Due to travel restrictions, the Environmental Data Management Workshop (EDMW) Planning Team, along with the EDMC chair, made the decision to suspend the in-person workshop planned for Asheville, NC, August 18-20, 2020. The EDMW will be a virtual workshop August 17-21, 2020.
The 2020 Environmental Data Management Workshop will include plenary, presentation, and poster sessions that focus on efforts to improve the collection, stewardship, interpretation, and delivery of NOAA data that enable the agency to effectively carry out its mission and programs. Attendees are primarily NOAA personnel, but we do have slots for non-NOAA personnel. Attendance is open to all NOAA employees, including NOAA CI and contract employees. Workshop planning activities are underway and expect to see further messages in the next few months.
There is no registration fee for this workshop. All NOAA employees and contractors are welcome, including data producers, data managers, metadata developers, archivists, researchers, grant issuers, policy developers, program managers, and others.

Q Why did you change the 2020 workshop to a virtual format?
A In the near term, we did not feel that we met the CDC guidance or could provide adequate social distancing in the conference venue. In addition, non-essential travel is not recommended and it is unpredictable when travel restrictions will be lifted across NOAA.Q Have you made the content from previous workshops available?
A The sessions and presentation for the 2019 and 2018 workshops are still available through the workshop websites. Click here to learn more about the 2019 EDM-W and the 2018 EDM-W.
