Here is a partial list of presenters:
- Dr. Greg Forbes (The Weather Channel)
- Tim Marshall, world expert on engineering buildings to minimize storm damage as well as an expert storm chaser
- Roger Edwards, forecaster, National Storm Prediction Center
- Dr. Jason Persoff, the storm chasing physician (really!) and photographer
- Jon Davies and his excellent storm forecasting class
I will be delivering the keynote speech Saturday evening (9th) as well as moderating a panel of storm chasers/law enforcement/emergency management on how to make chasing safer as well as more useful to society. Reed Timmer of AccuWeather, formerly of the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers will be a participant.
There will also be tours of AccuWeather's Extreme Weather Center in Wichita during the event.

Bring your family! Wichita has many family attractions in or near the downtown area. For example,
- Exploration Place. My granddaughters visited ten days ago and loved it. The best part? "Flying the plane."
- The amazing Toy Train Museum (yes, you can play with the trains!).
- Museum of World Treasures.
- Weather-permitting, the Sedgwick County Zoo. It has won many awards. It is just amazing for a city of our size (it is northwest of downtown).
Wichita has a new, modern airport and is served by most major airlines.
