		Exhibition and Poster Venue The poster session is an opportunity for authors to present their work and have in-depth discussions with conference participants during a dedicated two-hour session on the conference opening day. Poster display boards are arranged throughout a portion of the ballroom together with industry exhibits in a convivial setting with seating and light refreshments to encourage interaction with the poster authors. The venue is open throughout the week serving as a locus for side discussions and pop-up meetings.

		AMOS Site Capabilities Tutorial The Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC), located at the summit of Haleakala, is a national resource providing support to various government agencies and the scientific community. The tutorial summarizes MSSC systems, capabilities, and support procedures and includes a description of the telescopes and sensors. It will also include a brief overview of the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC).

		Technically Speaking: Bringing Excitement and Clarity to Technical Presentations Tutorial Technical presentations don't have to be boring or confusing! Whether you're an engineer, a scientist, or a programmer, giving presentations is an integral part of your career. Learn how to more effectively share your ideas and get support for your projects or proposals. The AMOS Conference is pleased to present a tutorial designed to help you do just that. Help your organization leverage your expert knowledge and experience by presenting complex, sophisticated material in an engaging way that other people can understand and act on.
