Embracing 21st Century Technology Solutions for Enhanced Conference Experiences

The AIAA must adopt modern technology solutions to improve technical committee (TC) and conference experiences. With a proposed $5000 technology wedge for Space 2011 and beyond, we aim to address the challenge of integrating impactful technological ideas after the conference budget is set. The initial rollout will focus on SMG TCs and PCs, followed by a wider implementation across all TAC TCs and PCs. We encourage feedback through our technology survey while also addressing concerns about representation and participant engagement from academia, industry, and government in TCs.

Presentation Transcript

  1. April Update • Technology Initiative: • Vision: AIAA needs to adopt 21st technology solutions to improve TC and conference experiences or risk being irrelevant and left behind • Video and/or teleconferencing, Web Conferencing, Collaboration Sites, Social Networking, etc. • Technology wedge: • Proposed $5000 technology wedge for Space 2011 and beyond • Allocated by planning committee to address dilemma that great technology ideas emerge well after conference budget is set • Technology Survey: • http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&pli=1&formkey=dGdxd3VTREpjVG42MXotdU5QSkQyRXc6MA • Initial roll-out – SMG TCs and PCs • After initial tweaks, all TAC TCs and PCs • Identify highest payoff areas to pursue • Awards • Nominations for Exceptional Service Award are now flowing well – thank you! • Please try to limit nominations to ‘Exceptional Service’

  2. Current SMG Composition

  3. Discussion points SMG: Less than 20% Representation from Academia >30% of our members have been in the same TC for > five years Similar trends in some (not all) TCs Representation (Academia/Industry/Govt) in some TCs seems skewed – which may be appropriate in some areas Bottom line: Each TC should consider their current profile and, as appropriate, set goals and actions to improve Plan to hold Telecon with Membership chairs/TC chairs in next few weeks to provide forum to share best practices and concerns
