Summary
The main goals of this meeting were to assess our current knowledge of solar activity, to prepare for observations of the new major activity expected from the beginning of Carrington Cycle 24, and to encourage effective observations of this activity. The organization of the meeting emphasized the coordination of ACE, Hinode, STEREO, TRACE/SDO, SOHO, RHESSI and Wind observations, among others, and of course ground-based observations as well. The conference comprised a set of invited and contributed talks in plenary sessions, followed by a set of nine focused working groups. The meeting took place December 8 - December 12, 2008, the week before the AGU Fall meeting in San Francisco.
