[Esip-disasters] 2021 ESIP Summer Meeting Session Proposal Form

Thu Apr 22 02:19:04 EDT 2021

Dave and I got a proposal in last week for the summer meeting. Exciting opportunity to continue our “ecosystem of innovation” offering a path for ESIP members to present relevant data products and services to the All Hazards Consortium (or other groups) in response to their use case needs. If successful, end users will have the opportunity to evaluate new products and choose to assign ORL for their application. 

Comments and ideas welcome. We will have an opportunity to engage Charley and Fisher again to help us craft our virtual meeting experience over the next several weeks and this will be one of our topics for our ESIP cluster May 6 conference call.

At a recent AHC GIS workshop on ORLs, tree canopy data was identified as a critical need for the electric sector in predicting damage assessment when facing storm threats.

Please consider if you have a product we can use as an example to walk through the innovative evaluation ecosystem and exercise the steps in advance.

> 2021 ESIP Summer Meeting Session Proposal Form
> Please fill out the following form to propose a session for the 2021 ESIP Summer Meeting, to be held virtually (July 19th-23rd, 2021). Session proposals should be submitted by COB on April 16th, 2021. Notification of acceptance will be shared by the end of April. Submitted sessions will be reviewed based on the quality and completeness of the proposal, as well as relevance to ESIP areas of interest and to the 2021 year theme (Leading Innovation in Earth Science Data Frontiers). For this reason, please provide as complete a session proposal as you can, including speaker names. Submission of a session proposal does not guarantee that the session will be accepted. You will have a chance to update your proposal to include more details. *Please note*: For this meeting, we are primarily focusing on 90-minute sessions. We encourage session leaders to concentrate on designing these high-quality 90-minute sessions. A handful of 150 minute sessions, as well as 60 minute sessions will also be available by invitation-only based on quality of proposal and anticipated interest.

> Session Title *
> 
> Delivering Trusted Data to Real Users & Decision Makers
> Session Description *
> Please describe your session with as much specificity as possible and how you see its connection to the theme “Leading Innovation in Earth Science Data Frontiers”.
> Since the ESIP Winter meeting the Disaster Lifecycle Cluster has further evolved its approach to Leading Innovation in Earth Science Data Frontiers to put more Earth science data to work in decision making environments. The ‘ecosystem of innovation’ places ESIP clusters on the pathway of user engagement through real-time collaboration and an expanding user base. This session looks to attract all ESIP Clusters who have a mission to put more data, processes, analytics and/or machine learning to work, add ORL ranking to their data to serve decision makers through improved data quality, data processing and data use. 
> Session Purpose *
> Make your case for why this session needs to be part of the Summer Meeting. What challenges, problems, or opportunities are happening that your session is responding to? Why is this session important to you and/or the ESIP community and/or to advancing the work of an existing ESIP project? 
> This session will build upon and describe the ESIP DLC’s ecosystem of innovation and how it connects ESIP cluster activities to real-world needs from agencies and organizations to begin focused efforts that can benefit decision makers. We will be connecting the dots with real examples to deliver tangible benefits to real users and decision makers. 
> Outcomes/Goals *
> What do you want to accomplish during this session? Specifically, what do you want to get from this session and what do you want the participants to get from coming to your session?
> This session will identify how the ecosystem of innovation works and how ESIP clusters can plug into this process by introducing their products, services and methods into the pathway for real users and decision makers to experience. 
> Format/Structure *
> What activities will you use to achieve your session’s purpose and goals? What types of activities will you put together to make up the time spent together? Below you will find a range of suggestions. The first few will sound familiar, like something you would normally do in a session, while others are a bit more unusual or out-of-the- box. It is our hope that these additional options might spark new creative ideas about how we might use our time together at our meetings. Please consider how you plan to work with and include the participants in your session. Check the combination of activities you will use to achieve the purpose and goals of your session.
> Introduce participants to the topic through a single or multiple brief presentation(s)
> Participants learn about the topic by hearing the thoughts and experiences of a few experts
> ✓
> Participants work in small groups to combine their knowledge and experience to collectively contribute toward broadening/deepening the understanding about a topic, explore possibilities, generate ideas, or make progress on a specific problem or task
> ✓
> Participants learn about new tools/methods/concepts and develop their new sills through various hands-on activities
> ✓
> Participants come together to make progress on a specific set of tasks or a focused problem or challenge for a collaboration cluster or area of interest for ESIP
> ✓
> Participants come together to actively work on projects and hack out project solutions in real-time during a session or during the Summer Meeting
> Participants engage in speculation/prediction about the future of a domain, discipline, or topic
> Participants explore a cross-cutting theme or a big science question that will require higher-degrees of collaboration and investigate how to make forward steps together
> Participants (lovingly) debate a topic that has many different perspectives, dimensions, & complexities (in a safe and structured framework)
> Participants come together to develop strategies for operating in a range of plausible yet unpredictable futures in a specific field/domain/research area/etc.
> Participants are asked to offer consultation, feedback, help, or guidance on a specific challenge, opportunity, or situation
> Other:  
> Length of Time/Duration *
> For this meeting, we are primarily focusing on 90-minute sessions. We encourage session leaders to concentrate on designing these high-quality 90-minute sessions. However, in some instances a different duration might be more suitable for your session’s purpose and design. For this reason, we will have a very limited number of 60- and 150-minute sessions that will be by invitation only. Tell us if your session needs something other than 90-minutes and make a case for why your season should get it. When we notify you of session acceptance, we will also notify you of the duration your session has received.
> 90 minutes
> Session Participants
> Speakers
> If your session’s design includes multiple speakers, 1) tell us how many, 2) who they are including email address, and 3) if they are confirmed or not.
> We are planning to identify 1 or 2 external speakers on a particular topic/challenge
> Target Audience *
> Describe the types of participants that will want to come to your session. Who else cares about, is dealing with, or is impacted by this information, problem, challenge, or opportunity? Whom or what groups do you want to reach? (Ex. certain disciplines, professional roles, facilities, agencies, collaboration areas, etc.)
> We are targeting data providers, service providers, and cluster members who are thinking about how their activities can benefit decision makers, such as the utility sector
> Session Level *
> What level of knowledge or experience with the subject will participants need in order to fully participate in your session?
> No prior knowledge or experience is needed - the session skims the surface or is an introduction
> ✓
> Some prior knowledge would benefit participants – the session will jump right into an intermediate level
> Some prior knowledge would benefit participants AND a quick review of supporting materials before the session will be a sufficient orientation for novices to feel more comfortable in the session
> Experienced practitioners will feel the most comfortable as this session will be a deep dive into the topic AND all skill-levels are welcome to join in
> Cluster Work Session – familiarity with the clusters work and tasks required
> Are you looking for additional speakers? *
> Before each ESIP Meeting, we often have individuals looking to present their work in a session that has already been proposed. If you would welcome additional speaker suggestions, please select "Yes."
> Yes
> No
> Maybe
> If you are looking for additional speakers, please describe what kind of speakers/talks you are looking for.
> We may be able to use your description of desired speakers to attract others to speak in your session. Feel free to be very specific --> "Looking for a nonprofit professional who can speak about how they've integrated CRM, Email, Website and/or other related systems. Ideally, this speaker would be able to walk the audience through a map of how data systems are connected and talk about the experience of working in this integrated environment."
> We will be looking to identify an expert in tree canopy monitoring as this is likely to be a focus of our session since it is a needed dataset for the utility sector and storm response/damage assessment.
> Recommended Ways for Session Attendees to Prepare
> If your session will be a continuation of previous efforts (e.g. continuation of a collaboration area activity) or otherwise difficult for a newcomer to easily jump into, please provide information on how a newcomer might prepare to attend your session. This could be a link to a webinar, presentation, or past session. You could also include here a sense of what topics/questions participants should come prepared to discuss.
> Attendees can prepare by thinking about what they do and how their specific talents can help to address data gaps for decision makers.
