The 48th Conference on Broadcast Meteorology is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Board of Broadcast Meteorology
Join us at the 48th Conference on Broadcast Meteorology, sponsored by the American Meteorological Society at the AMS Centennial Annual Meeting!
The Broadcast Conference will be held at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center January 13-15, 2020. Less than two miles from AMS Headquarters, the AMS Centennial Meeting will attract not only TV meteorologists, but also other scientists, educators, students and various other professionals from around the world. We will all come together where AMS originated – in Boston, MA. Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is only three miles from the Exhibition and Convention Center. Hotel information will be available in Mid-August on the AMS travel page
The Centennial theme is “The AMS Past, Present and Future: Linking Information to Knowledge to Society (LINKS). LINKS applies to research, broadcast, WX service & other government services, industry applications, risk management, education, policy, communications and watch/warning responses, building links across technologies, links across research & applications, and more.”
Like in previous years, we also encourage presentations that focus on recent weather events and weather phenomenon that are unique to our host region. As TV meteorologists, we encourage broadcaster presentations, showcasing how science is communicated across the country. Student presentations are also welcome! Below are some suggested areas we hope to delve into during our 2020 conference.
We also encourage presentations in other genres, including connections with social science, oceanography, aviation, agriculture, astronomy and space weather.
More details on the conference program will appear on the AMS website this fall.
