From Larry's List, some of the details were made available of what will be in store for us at the WX Symposium by Wayne Deaver, KC0YSL, the Symposium Coordinator.

"We are bringing in 4 Guest Speakers from across the Midwest to put on presentations that day. That list will include: Greg Carbin, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the Storm Predication Center in Norman; Brandon Ivey, The Storm Report and Storm Chasers; Brian Barjenbruch, Journeyman Forecaster at the WFO in Topeka; and Matt Elwell, Chief Meteorologist - Channel 6 News in Lawrence.
