The Emerging Pedagogies Summit is an annual event hosted by the Learning Innovation and Lifetime Education (LILE) group at Duke University, and I, Nicole Corbin, instructional designer at NSF Unidata, had the pleasure of attending. This year’s event was packed with thoughtfully curated topics relevant to the NSF Unidata higher education community, including AI and workforce development.

NSF Unidata is at the 2024 Earth Educators' Rendezvous in Philadelphia, PA the week of July 15-19, 2024. Join Instructional Designer Nicole Corbin and AI/ML Software Engineer Thomas Martin on Friday's poster session to discuss their ongoing collaboration with Metropolitan State University of Denver, Machine Learning Foundations and Applications in the Earth Systems Sciences.

This year's annual American Meteorological Society meeting was held 27 January - 1 February 2024 in Baltimore, MD. Several NSF Unidata staff members were able to travel to Baltimore to lead workshops, visit with students, present papers and posters, and otherwise take part in the conference. As always, staff members spent some time meeting with community members at UCAR's exhibit hall booth. The following are some of the conference highlights from the perspective of NSF Unidata staff.

Members of the NSF Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the 104th annual American Meteorology Society meeting, to be held 28 January - 1 February 2024 in Baltimore, MD. Staff members will be presenting sessions and posters, and will also be spending time in the UCAR booth (#323) in the main Exhibit hall.

We're also attending the Graduate Student Career Fair, leading two(!) workshops as part of the Student Conference, and teaching a MetPy short course, Read on for details.

This year's annual American Meteorological Society meeting was held 8-12 January 2023 in Denver, Colorado. In addition to the conference being a hybrid event with thousands physically in attendance (which felt a bit odd, after the last few years), the location being so close to the Unidata Program Center in Boulder meant more than the usual number of staff members were able to attend as presenters of talks and posters, conveners of sessions, and facilitators of workshops and short courses for students, educators, and researchers. Staff members also spent time meeting community members in the new exhibit hall booth bringing together a variety of UCAR and NCAR programs in one space. As always, we were also glad to meet so many prospective community members at the AMS Student Conference.

With so much going on at the conference, we can't cover everything here. Instead, we present some highlights from the week's events.
