Satellite Meetings
Satellite meetings are those sponsored by non-APS groups. A list of these meetings will be posted here in early February.
Requests for satellite meetings must be submitted in writing to Terri Gaier in the APS Meetings Department by email (gaier@aps.org) or fax (301-209-0866) no later than January 18. Include in your request:
- the name of the event,
- requested date and time,
- estimate of attendance,
- room set-up requirements,
- a-v requirements, and
- food and beverage requirements.
All non-APS satellite meeting requests are subject to approval by APS. Please start now to plan your satellite meetings as space is limited and will be allocated on a space-available basis.
Note: All satellite meetings will be held in the headquarters hotel, the New Orleans Marriott.
