The 22nd Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellites will be co-hosting with other Conferences and Symposia the 12th Annual Speed Networking Event [12SPNE]. The event allows students and early career professionals to network with mentors via “speed networking” where the mentors (meteorology and allied discipline professionals) roam between tables at set intervals introducing the students and early professionals to a wide array of professions in the field of meteorology. The Speed Networking will include a social with heavy hors d'oeuvres, providing a great time for open networking. This allows the students, the early career professionals, and the mentors of their selected discipline to have extended conversations after their speed-mentoring.

Student Award Opportunities
The 22nd Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellite Systems, the 27th Conference on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology, and the 15th Conference on Transition of Research to Operations are pleased to jointly co-host Student Presentation Awards at the 106th Annual Meeting. Award certificates and cash prizes of up to $200 will be given for the best student oral and poster presentations. Students who wish to be considered for these awards should indicate so when submitting their abstract. In order to be considered for an award, students must be enrolled at a college or university at the time of submission and must be the lead and presenting author. Award recipients will be informed of the committee's decision by late February 2026.
The basis for an award will be:
The research topic and impact,
Experimental Design
Interpretation of Results
Quality of the presentation (oral and poster/slides) and the Student’s delivery
