?? Community Air Sensor Workshop 2025! ?? When the EPA Air Sensor Workshop 2025 was canceled, the ecosystem saw an opportunity to keep the critical conversations on air sensor technology going. That’s why we’re excited to announce the Community Air Sensor Workshop 2025, a free, virtual event happening March 18–19 from 10 AM to 2 PM ET! ?? This workshop will bring together experts, organizations, and community members to explore emerging air sensor technology, best practices, and real-world applications—ensuring that collaboration and knowledge-sharing continue. ?? Were you a speaker?: If you were originally scheduled to present at the EPA event or have valuable insights to share, we’d love to have you join us! The final agenda will be shaped by speaker confirmations, and all sessions will be recorded and made publicly available. ??
