I’m pleased to announce that NSF has awarded the UCAR CPAESS a 2-year meeting support contract to hold in-person CEDAR workshops at the Des Moines Iowa Community Choice Convention Center in 2026 and 2027. This venue was selected because it is affordable, centrally
located, and beautifully hosted the 2025 joint CEDAR-GEM workshop. Blocks of rooms for attendee accommodation have been reserved at the Hilton, which adjoins the convention center via a skywalk.</div>
