The National Airspace System Performance Workshop was held in Pacific Grove, CA on the Asilomar Conference Grounds on April 13 to 16th. The Workshop brought together decision makers, scholars and stakeholders interested in modeling, measuring, and managing the strategic and operational performance of the National Airspace System (NAS). The theme of this year’s Workshop was “The NEXTGEN We Need: the Strategic Value of NAS Modernization.” Participants left this conference with a broader perspective on the strategic value of their programs and work, methods for assessing and documenting that value, and opportunities to increase their contributions toward meeting the challenges faced by the nation and the world.
