About the Meeting
NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) will hold its twenty sixth meeting June 11th through the 12th, 2022 immediately preceeding the 240th AAS meeting in Pasadena, CA. This will be a hybrid meeting. The agenda will include programmatic updates of relevance for the ExoPAG community, science updates and descriptions of exciting new capabilities, updates from SIGs and SAGs, a mini symposium on the State of the Profession, as well as our regular business meeting.
ExoPAG meetings offer an opportunity to participate in discussions of scientific and technical issues in exoplanet exploration, and a forum for community input on the prioritization of activities in NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP). All interested members of the space science community are invited to attend and participate. Suggestions for topics and/or speakers at the meeting along these lines are welcome.
