In mid-2015, NASA's New Horizons mission will conduct the first spacecraft reconnaissance of the Pluto system.

In preparation for that flyby, the New Horizons project team will hold a scientific conference at The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory 22-26 July 2013. The conference objectives are:

- To integrate information about this planet, its satellites, and their context in the Kuiper Belt.

- To encourage groundbased and spacebased proposals to provide additional context alongside the New Horizons encounter. And,

- To inform about the 6-month long New Horizons encounter for those interested in proposing to the Pluto System Data Analysis Program.
