DUP RELATED TO TICKET On-site experience

Attendees will experience thousands of presentations on the latest physics research, career-focused events, networking opportunities, and discussions of current issues relevant to the physics community.

Campus

Two venues adjacent to one another, the Colorado Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency Denver, make up the APS Global Physics Summit campus. Each venue will host distinct sessions represented by the traditional March Meeting and April Meeting disciplines, as well as APS units.

Cross-disciplinary sessions and networking events will take place in both places. Registration will give attendees access to both venues.

The Hyatt Regency will mainly host the April Meeting sessions: particles and fields, astrophysics, gravitational physics, nuclear physics, beams, hadronic physics, physics education research, and more.

The Colorado Convention Center will mainly host the March Meeting and SPLASHY sessions: quantum information, condensed matter, materials physics, magnetism, computational physics, industrial and applied physics, medical physics, and SPLASHY – soft, polymeric, living, active, statistical, heterogeneous, and yielding matter.
