Abstract submission deadlines for most conferences and symposia at the American Meteorological Society's 98th Annual Meeting are 1 August 2017.

UPDATE: Many of the deadlines have been extended to 8 August 2017 or later, including the deadline for submissions to the EIPT conference, now Tuesday, 15 August 2017. See the Call for Papers for details.

Two conferences that may be of special interest to Unidata community members are:

• 34th Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT)
• Eighth Symposium on Advances in Modeling and Analysis Using Python

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have used funds made available through Unidata's Community Equipment Awards program to prototype a system for using cloud-based resources to provide access to 3D-visualization software. Their project, titled “A Prototype Cloud-Based Visualization System for Unidata Applications,” focused on running Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) on a remote (“cloud”) system and making it available on multiple remote clients.
