LPV-Organized Meetings
The LPV Working Group, which is comprised of the chairs, secretariat, and focus area leads, trys to convene for a day annually if possible. The focus areas also attempt to convene when possible. These are all opportunistic meetings that attempt to capitalize on large gatherings of EO scientists.
LPV Plenary Meeting, Frascati, Italy - June 2023
The LPV Subgroup was very pleased to be able to meet face-to-face once again, after years of no or online Plenary meetings. This year we were able to tag on to the Land Product Validation and Evolution meeting, held every 3 years in Frascati. Our host was Fabrizio Niro, our vice-chair, and ESA/ESRIN. The Plenary was held over a single day, after the 3-day LPVE meeting. We had new focus area leads taking over, as we had a lot of transition of leads in the 2022/23 time frame.

LPV Virtual Plenary Meeting, MS Teams - May 2021
As with many other meetings, the LPV Subgroup was forced to hold a virtual Plenary this year. The meeting was split over a two day period, for a few hours each day, hoping to minimize inconvient times for all.
The focus was on progress toward standardization of validation practices and the latest achievements in the land validation domain. The first day included reports on current validation and intercomparison activities, operational services on product validation, and efforts on fiducial reference data collection and ground networks, hoping to promote synergies among key actors. On Day 2 we focused on reporting from each of the ten LPV Subgroup focus areas.
