The Seattle Snowmass 2022 Community Summer Study Workshop

ORAL

Abstract

The Seattle Snowmass 2022 Community Summery Study Workshop took place from July 17-26, 2022. Over 700 physicists gathered in person at the University of Washington in Seattle and another 150 online to attend the final meeting of the Snowmass 2021 process. The Snowmass process, organized by the APS Division of Particles and Fields (DPF) is a scientific study that brings the entire US particle physics community together to identify and document a scientific vision for the future of particle physics in the US and with its international partners. This meeting, which took place in the midst of the summer COVID surge, was 10 days long and had over 100 sessions, consisting of up to 14 parallel sessions on most mornings and plenaries in the afternoons, and was bookended by a day or day and a half of plenary sessions. The workshop was fully hybrid and all sessions were recorded. A major effort was made at diversifying attendance and at outreach and to include younger physicists in the meeting. This contribution will describe the workshop, what goals it achieved and what goals it did not.
