This year’s Fall Meeting was held in December 2023 in San Francisco and included a virtual component that took place in January 2024. There were over 8000 iPosters and PDF+ eposters created for the event.
FM23 was an extra special collaboration for us as we worked closely with AGU staff to develop a platform for the management of the Outstanding Student Presentation Awards (OSPA). This initiative is designed to recognize and encourage exemplary research and presentation skills among student participants. Students had the opportunity to sign up for the OSPA program and receive valuable feedback from seasoned professionals, with the potential to earn recognition certificates and prizes for their outstanding work. The new platform allowed OSPA staff and volunteers to easily assign and manage reviewers to each presentation and for Reviewers to complete and submit their evaluations in the system. When the judging process was completed the feedback was made available to the students.
