Although the 2017 meeting agenda is not yet set, past meetings
<http://meetings.esipfed.org/summer-meeting-2016> have offered a wealth of
workshops, relevant conference sessions, and networking opportunities.  We
expect that the 2017 meeting will provide many opportunities for
professional development and broad engagement as well as community-building
and information-sharing among LTER information managers.

e-mail Marty Downs (downs at nceas.ucsb.edu) by April 21.
