I am quite looking forward to seeing you in Baltimore next week. A few things I would like to highlight - Please be sure to check out the meeting app http://esa.org/baltimore/info/meeting-app/ Baltimore.org has a nice website set up to help guide our time outside the conference center http://baltimore.org/esa “Show Your Badge Discounts” - this is a great addition this year.
