The Executive Steering and Programme Committees are pleased to invite community members from all levels of the value chain (data providers to users) of operational satellite oceanographic data, products and applications to attend the first international Operational Satellite Oceanography (OSO) Symposium. The themes to be addressed are 1) redefining the operational paradigm, 2) linking data providers to information providers, 3) helping users find the information they need, and 4) facilitating the end-to-end value chain. Participants can also attend FREE training on Monday June 17th.

The focus of this first OSO symposium will be on the upstream components of the value chain, so the international community of satellite operators, information producers and high-level and intermediate users are especially encouraged to articipate. Perspectives from downstream end users are important to the process and are welcome also. Poster abstracts may be submitted for consideration. Oral presentations are invited only. Abstracts (both submitted poster abstracts and invited oral abstracts) received by the deadline will be considered for placement into the Programme based upon potential contribution to the symposium content and relevance to session themes.
