2019 Securing Legacy Seismic Data to Enable Future Discoveries

The workshop will combine formal keynotes with "unconference" breakout sessions each day.  "Unconference" breakout sessions are driven by participants. Please come with issues for discussion.

The meeting will be held in the Franciscan Ballroom both days.
