The Space Weather Enterprise Forum brought together the space weather community to share information and ideas among policymakers, senior government leaders, researchers, service- provider agencies, private-sector service providers, space weather information users, media, and legislators and staff from Capitol Hill to raise awareness of space weather and its effects on society.

This year's Forum focused on continuity of critical space weather observations, transitioning research results into operations, and the application of space weather information to activities in space.
