Press Program Now Available for the April Meeting of the American Physical Society

The in-person experience for the American Physical Society’s April Meeting begins next week in Minneapolis with presentations on the latest research in astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, gravitation, nuclear physics and more. It will be followed by the virtual experience April 24-26.

There are no press conferences planned for this year’s program. However, press materials about newsworthy presentations are now available in the April Meeting press kit.

Registered journalists will receive emails with press information daily for the duration of the meeting and have access to a press room with dedicated internet that will serve as a workspace on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hybrid Format

The April Meeting will have both in-person and online experiences. The in-person experience will be at the Hilton Minneapolis April 15-18. It will include scientific sessions, exhibits, networking events, receptions and more. In-person press registration includes access to the online experience.

The online experience will be held April 24-26. It will feature livestreamed scientific sessions, keynote style talks, poster slams and more. The presentation slides and audio from all scientific sessions at the in-person meeting will be available for on-demand viewing on the online meeting platform — unless the presenter opts out.
