In a departure from recent hackweek years in larger venues, we’re returning to the WRF Data Science Studio. For the style of event this year; a smaller gathering of invitation only peers, the data studio is a great environment for smaller teams.
Note
More information about first day check-in will be updated here before the event and communicated via ICESAT-2 Slack.

The data studio is open from 9:00 a.m., Monday through Friday.
There are two elevators from the ground floor. Please note stairwell access is not available when attempting to enter the 6th floor.
Lunch#
Lunch will be provided at the data studio in addition to tea & coffee. Menu will be informed by a survey collecting food preferences. As in previous years, breakfast and dinner are not provided.
