APS Global Physics Summit (APS)

The APS Global Physics Summit is the flagship meeting of the American Physical Society, bringing together researchers across all major areas of physics. It encompasses fundamental research, applied physics, education, and policy discussions. The scale is massive, with thousands of presentations spanning condensed matter, particle physics, astrophysics, plasma physics, and more. Scientific rigor varies by division, but leading-edge research is consistently represented. The summit plays a major role in shaping physics research priorities and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Industrial participation is present but secondary to academic research. In addition to technical sessions, the meeting features career development, outreach, and policy engagement, making it a central event for the global physics community.
