Note: We have designed the agenda this year to appeal to both meteorology professionals and the public/educators. Below you will find the two tracks. Anyone is able to attend any of the sessions, however. We are pleased to announce that the Dexter and Southfield Schools will be a Wi-Fi hotspot for this year's conference. Conference attendees are encouraged to bring their Wi-Fi enabled laptops to the conference. Doing so will allow you to access websites mentioned during the various presentations. In addition, some presentations will have an on-line interactive component. While the school does have a computer lab, where some presentations will take place, computing resources at the conference will be limited. If you have a Wi-Fi enabled laptop, bring it along!
