Members of the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) gathered in Washington, DC, on December 3–7, 2018, for the 8th Annual ESGF Face-to-Face (F2F) Conference. The event packed 40 presentations, several plenary sessions, a poster session, guest speakers, an awards ceremony, and an Executive Committee (XC) meeting into the week. ESGF working teams (WTs) conduct daily operations remotely all over the world. Although most teams meet online regularly, in-person interaction is incredibly important for cementing relationships and evaluating progress.
