Here is a start at NREL's Workshop Agenda Q&A for kPower. An obvious concern is given such a slow NREL low-bar start for AWE domain knowledge, when do they ever catch up to state-of-the-art discussion? The Literature Review demand may have only annoyed. Sign me up for suicide watch when Planair hacks falsely preach IEA AWE leadership. WETO-Ben and the Facilitated Mystery Panel are other possible horrors.

There may be a small error or two below, like recalling dates for Etzler and [Archer et al]. Please add any suggestions. The idea is to have NREL pretty much already know good answers to their questions, before the event, so we might jump ahead to more complex technical discussion, like AWE integrated into ExaWind before that train leaves anytime now. 

The weird Workshop noon cut-off seems like a concession to NREL's EU Overlord dinner plans. You must sign in by 7AM, from the West Coast, or miss WETO-Ben. AWEC2021SeaTac would have let you sleep-in, plus tee-shirt.
