The 2023 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) was held in Pasadena, California, USA, from July 17-21, 2023. IGARSS is the flagship conference of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), and is aimed at providing a platform for sharing knowledge and experience on recent developments and advancements in geoscience and remote sensing technologies, particularly in the context of earth observation, disaster monitoring and risk assessment. CEOS was well represented at this important community event, with an Exhibition Booth supported by the Systems Engineering Office (SEO), as well as CEOS members chairing three sessions.<\/p>\n

The SEO regularly hosts CEOS Booths at major remote sensing conferences, including IGARSS and GEO Week. This ensures CEOS work is visible to the broader EO community, and provides an opportunity to hear from the community on their needs.\"\"<\/p>\n

For IGARSS, CEOS was represented at the booth by Dave Borges (SEO, NASA), Brian Killough (SEO), Josh Baptist (SEO, AMA), Andrew Cherry (SEO, AMA) and Libby Rose (SEO Comms). Ahead of the exhibition, the team designed and printed flyers<\/a> with relevant CEOS information, as well as two sticker variations. The stickers were appreciated by all at the conference, making a huge difference as to the amount of people who would approach the booth. The team also produced a new roll-up banner<\/a> for the occasion, highlighting some of CEOS\u2019 work in an \u2018Ask Us About\u2019<\/em> format.<\/p>\n

The booth featured a display screen, where a rolling playlist of CEOS content was displayed. WGDisasters contributed some slides on their activities<\/a>, which was shown alongside the 2022 Year In Review<\/a>, 2022 launches<\/a>, CEOS & SDGs<\/a>, and Introduction to the CalVal Portal<\/a> videos, as well as some other slides detailing recently launched missions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For almost every interested person who approached the booth, the team was able to connect their own specific area of interest to some work item within CEOS. This goes to show how broad reaching and comprehensive the work of CEOS is, as the sessions across IGARSS covered a broad range of technical topics on geoscience and remote sensing. Despite this, broad awareness of CEOS as an organisation remains low. Participants would often come up to the booth with a puzzled look, asking what CEOS is. The back page of the flyer<\/a> was particularly handy for this, to show off all the Members & Associates, to which they would often be surprised how big CEOS was! Pointing out their own space agency logo on the flyer also helped make a more personal connection to CEOS.<\/p>\n
