Don’t Miss Out: 5 Things Worth Your Time at Tethys Summit 2025
—
Tethys Summit 2025 is coming soon! Registration is open and hotel rooms are filling up at The Westshore Grand. If you’re considering attending Tethys Summit 2025 but haven’t made your decision yet, here are five compelling reasons to secure your spot, and why you should book your accommodation soon.
1. Get Hands-On with Platform Features
Tethys Summit offers practical workshops on platform developments that are just becoming available. You’ll work directly with Tethys Component Apps using ReactPy.
The Tethys Dash sessions show visualization capabilities that can make environmental data more accessible. These are hands-on workshops where you’ll learn to implement these tools, not just watch demonstrations.
The Contribute to Tethys Core sessions with Nathan Swain provide direct access to platform development insights that typically require months of community involvement to acquire.
Why it matters: Getting familiar with these tools early means you’ll be productive with them while others are still learning the basics.
2. Learn from Platform Creators and Leading Users
The State of Talks opening session brings together the people who built the platforms many Earth scientists use daily. Katherine Moore Powell, Nathan Swain, and Michael Souffront will share insights about platform development and future directions.
Research presentations showcase practical applications that are already solving real problems. HydroModelMatch from the University of South Florida, AquaNutriOpt decision support systems, and Interactive Exploration of High-Resolution Streamflow Data demonstrate what’s possible with current tools.
The keynote speakers Angelica Gutierrez, E. James Nelson, and Kiran Shakya bring perspectives on community building and practical implementation that come from years of experience.
The practical benefit: You’ll understand not just how these tools work, but how experienced users apply them to solve actual problems.
3. Workshops Designed for Immediate Implementation
The summit’s workshop tracks focus on practical skills you can use immediately. The”Getting Started with Tethys Platform track takes beginners through building functional applications. The Cutting Edge Tethys sessions show experienced users new capabilities.
GEOGLOWS workshops provide direct access to global streamflow services that can enhance hydrological projects. CIROH NWM Data Services sessions demonstrate how to work with national water model data.
These workshops include working code and implementation examples you can adapt for your own projects. Furthermore, expert Tethys developers will be available to help you with your own applications.
The advantage: Two days of intensive workshops provide practical skills that would take weeks to develop independently.
4. See Applications Being Built in Real Time
The Tethys Platform App Development Contest includes development sessions throughout both days where you can observe applications being created to solve real environmental challenges. These sessions offer insights into the development process that you don’t get from finished presentations.
You’ll see how developers approach problems, make design decisions, and implement solutions using the Tethys Platform. The contest winners will be announced at the Award Banquet on Tuesday evening.
The development sessions are open to observers and often welcome input from attendees with relevant expertise.
The opportunity: Watching applications being built provides insights into development approaches that can improve your own projects.
5. Connect with an Active Community
The Tethys community is actively developing tools that many Earth scientists rely on. The summit brings together people who typically interact only through online forums and code repositories.
The Welcome Reception, lunch breaks, and Award Banquet provide opportunities to connect with developers and users working on similar challenges. These conversations often lead to collaborations, shared solutions, and helpful connections.
The community includes both experienced developers and newcomers, creating opportunities for knowledge exchange that benefit participants at all levels.
The networking value: Face-to-face conversations with people working on similar problems can solve weeks of technical challenges and identify collaboration opportunities.
Book Your Stay Soon
The Westshore Grand is the official conference hotel and offers the most convenient location for attendees. The hotel provides:
- Direct conference access without transportation concerns
- Networking opportunities that happen naturally when attendees stay in the same location
- Conference room block rates that offer better value than booking separately
- Easy airport access just minutes from Tampa International Airport
Hotel availability is becoming limited, and waiting longer means:
- Potentially no rooms available at the conference hotel
- Higher rates at alternative accommodations
- Transportation complications getting to sessions
- Missing informal networking opportunities
Secure Your Spot
Tethys Summit 2025 offers practical learning opportunities, direct access to platform developers, and connections with an active community working on environmental challenges. The combination of workshops, presentations, and networking makes it a valuable investment for anyone working with Earth science applications.
The logistics are straightforward: Register for the conference and book your hotel room. The conference provides clear value for the time and cost investment, and the community connections often prove as valuable as the formal sessions.
Registration is open now. Hotel rooms are available but filling up. Don’t wait until the last minute to secure your spot!
