Gemini Observatory staff will be at the 243rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), hosted in New Orleans, LA from 7 – 11 January 2024. We'd like to encourage anyone who would like help with their Gemini program to stop by our table (at the NOIRLab booth) or make an appointment with us by emailing david.jones@noirlab.edu. Gemini and the US National Gemini Office will also be hosting two splinter sessions on Wednesday, January 10th: "The Present and Future of Exoplanet Science with the Gemini Observatory" and "Introduction to Gemini Observatory in the 2020s: How to Propose for Time and Complete your Program"
