The AMOS Conference kicks off each year with Technical Short Courses in various SSA/SDA-related disciplines, preceding three days of plenary programming. Each day of the plenary program opens with a Keynote Address and SSA Policy Forum discussion followed by Technical Presentations covering a range of broad topical areas relating to Space Situational/Domain Awareness. Featured Presentations are incorporated throughout the multi-day program, with poster sessions and networking opportunities culminating the AMOS Conference experience

EXHIBITION & POSTER VENUE
The exhibit venue is open throughout the conference serving as a locus for side discussions and pop-up meetings. The poster session on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon is an opportunity for a select number of authors to present their work and have in-depth discussions with conference participants during a dedicated session. This year we are planning to display in-person posters on digital touch screen monitors! Presenters will be scheduled to give a 10-minute presentation on an assigned monitor during one of the two poster sessions. The monitors will be available for presenters and attendees to access throughout Wednesday and Thursday. Touchscreens will enable viewers and presenters to zoom in and out of details of the poster.
VIRTUAL POSTER HALL
All posters are available in digital format this year and are accompanied by brief on-demand presentation videos in the virtual conference platform’s Poster Hall. Interact with poster presenters on discussion boards and via video chat during optional Office Hours.
