From a NASA Media Advisory:

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA and partners from the LAUNCH: Beyond Waste forum will discuss innovative ideas for waste management during a 3-day forum July 20-22. Waste management is important for planning long-duration human spaceflight missions to an asteroid, Mars or beyond.

How much does it cost, I wonder, to finance a 3-day forum to discuss the dissemination of waste products?
