NESDIS Industry Day.docx

This is an Industry Day notice for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Commercial Data Program (CDP). The event is scheduled for April 9, 2026, from 1:00-2:30pm Eastern Time and will be conducted as a virtual meeting via Adobe Connect. The NESDIS Office of Systems Architecture and Engineering (SAE) and CDP leadership will present a status update on the program's future direction and objectives.

The presentation will focus on CDP's objectives to support NOAA's observational requirements, with specific emphasis on data pilot projects for microwave soundings and wildfire imagery, as well as expansion of operational data purchases. The event is open to industry participants who can register through the provided Adobe Connect link. Live questions from attendees will be accepted and moderated, though questions unrelated to the Commercial Data Purchase Community Day will not be entertained. Registrants are instructed to exclude sensitive personally identifiable information such as account numbers and Social Security numbers. Presentation slides will be made available to the public following the conclusion of the event. This Industry Day serves as a community engagement opportunity for vendors and stakeholders interested in supporting NOAA's satellite data acquisition initiatives.
