Satellite Events

Satellite events are organized by physics organizations and physics departments outside of the U.S. and serve to bring the APS Global Physics Summit to their local physics communities. Satellite events engage with the APS Global Physics Summit virtually in addition to hosting a local, in-person event in a country outside the United States. Physicists have the opportunity to participate in the APS Global Physics Summit without having to travel to Anaheim, California. Satellite events range from a several-day meeting where students are bussed to a local university to watch scientific sessions to a more modest event that includes a local speaker and networking event. In some cases, satellite events also offer an opportunity to present research to a global audience without having to travel to the U.S., while still enjoying the community aspect of an in-person event. Several satellite locations will also organize virtual sessions as part of the general Global Physics Summit programming.

APS Global Physics Summit satellite events may include:

• Group viewings of live-streamed virtual and recorded, on-demand sessions from the APS Global Physics Summit
• Receptions and/or poster sessions
• Networking opportunities for young physicists and physics students
• A physics talk by a local speaker
• A virtual session broadcast to APS Global Physics Summit organized by the satellite event host and attendees
• Dedicated programming on publishing in scientific journals/writing papers provided by the Purpose-Led Publishing coalition for events in less-resourced locations
