The document outlines an agenda and information for an ARC Technology Resources and Flow forum at NASA Ames Research Center. The forum will include presentations from center management on national technology needs, agency priorities, and technology opportunities within different directorates. Participants will then break into groups for discussion and to provide feedback on better communicating ARC's strategic vision and technology focus. The goal is to engage the entire ARC technology community or ideas to refine and enhance the center's vision.
