International attendee information

Plan your travel experience to the United States with resources from APS about obtaining your visa.

Attendees who cannot travel to Atlanta can participate in the Global Physics Summit virtual experience from the comfort of their home or in select satellite locations hosted worldwide.

Confirming reciprocal society membership

To submit an abstract to present at the Global Physics Summit, you must be an APS member or a member of a reciprocal society. New for 2026: APS now offers two membership plans.

Attend a satellite event

Satellite events, organized by physics organizations and departments outside of the U.S., uniquely combine local, in-person activities with virtual engagement from the APS Global Physics Summit so physicists have the opportunity to participate in the meeting without having to travel to Atlanta, Georgia.

Host a satellite event

Sites can apply to organize a virtual session to present scientific talks as part of the Global Physics Summit, or they can apply for an unlimited number of spots to host a satellite event that participates virtually in the Global Physics Summit without organizing a session.

Code of Conduct

APS's Code of Conduct intends to make the Global Physics Summit a respectful and welcoming space for all attendees.
