Thank You and Congrats to Student Award Winners

We wanted to thank you all for participating in the 15th International Conference on Mesoscale Convective Systems! We had 135 attendees from 10 different countries. We appreciate your decision to join ICMCS-XV among the numerous conference options available to you. Your presence and active engagement contributed significantly to the diversity and success of the conference.

The conference was very productive, and it was great to see all of you either in-person or online. A group photo is attached. We have also posted the group photo, excursion photo, and student award winners at our photo gallery here: https://icmcs15.colostate.edu/gallery/

We will make the presentations available to all attendees shortly. If you prefer not to have your slides shared with other attendees please let us know and we will remove them from the folder.
