The Triennial Earth-Sun Summit is scheduled for 2021 August 9-12, in Bellevue/Seattle WA.
Once every three years, AAS, AAS/SPD, and AGU/SPA meet jointly to bring together the major subfields of the Sun-Earth connection: the Sun and its corona, the heliosphere, the magnetosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere, and related systems.  The TESS meetings are a chance for specialists to “step back” and consider the system as a whole, stimulating cross-fertilization and new insights.

The TESS program is adaptible to the science community.  In addition to invited plenary sessions, we solicit session proposals from the community for cross-cutting topics within the spirit of the TESS meetings.  TESS sessions are oral sessions assigned in one or more 2-hour blocks, with 1-3 invited speakers and contributed talks; or panel discussions covering progress, current status, or future directions of a major cross-field subtopic of heliophysics.

Session proposals should include proposer names, a topic, a short praecis describing why the topic is of interest, and some ideas for invited speakers or scene-setters.  Proposers may (but are not required to) contact proposed invited speakers before submission.

The deadline for session proposals is 29-Jan-2021.

The TESS submission forms are being finalized by the AAS/SPD and the URL will be announced by the end of this month in a follow-up to this note.  TESS also supports workshops and/or town halls outside of the primary science program.  These will be solicited when the session website goes online.
