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.
Attend events in a convenient campus
Three venues adjacent to one another — Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim Marriott, and Hilton Anaheim — 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.
Anaheim Marriott will host April Meeting sessions: particles and fields, astrophysics, gravitational physics, nuclear physics, beams, hadronic physics, physics education research, and more.
Anaheim Convention Center will host March Meeting sessions: quantum information, condensed matter, materials physics, magnetism, computational physics, industrial and applied physics, and other disciplines.
Hilton Anaheim will host SPLASHY matter sessions — soft, polymeric, living, active, statistical, heterogenous, and yielding matter — medical physics, and other March Meeting disciplines.
Cross-disciplinary sessions and networking events will take place in all three places and in the outdoor plaza that connects them. Registration gives attendees access to all venues.
