50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting - Gaylord Opryland, Nashville, TNSunday, January 8, 2012
P&E Discussion Framework
• There Is An “Imperative For Change”• NEM Tiger Team Has Developed & Evaluated Four Specific
Conference Model Options; Briefed At Today’s TAC Workshop• Exact Path Forward Is TBD (TAC Meeting On Thursday)
Incorporating Workshop Feedback; Stay The Course Vs. Change Direction? Process & Timeline For Making An Actionable Decision Assume At Some Point, There Will Be A TAC/BOD Vote On A Specific Motion
• Issues Before P&E Leadership How Do We Best Solicit And Represent Feedback From Our TC Members &
From The P&E Community As A Whole? Is There A Specific Option That Is “Best” For The P&E Community? Is There Value In Developing A “P&E Group Position” … Or, Is It Best Left To
Each TC Or Each Individual Member?2

Four Event Models Assessed to Date
Name Description
Current •Current portfolio with minor change, e.g., some co-location
Consolidated •Current larger Events (ASM, Fluids, JPC, Space, GNC, SDM) plus Aviation and Defense as centers of gravity for consolidating smaller conferences
•Augment with systems development/integration elementsIntegrated •Comprehensive, domain-focused Events providing integrated content
•~4 Events spread over the year: R&D, Aviation, Space, and DefenseUnified •Multi-domain, unified Events split between R&D and Systems
Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT)•One big Event for R&D (winter) and one for SEIT/programs (summer)
and a smaller Defense conference
