The APS web pages have links to the abstracts and in many cases the presentations themselves.  The links are to the "Epitome" of each meeting, and from there it is easy to find the specific talk using the session number and then the specific talk.

Mark your calendars for the Spring 2013 APS Meetings!

Your Program and Executive Committees are hard at work lining up great invited sessions.

March Meeting 2013 • March 18 - March 22 • Baltimore, Maryland

The APS March Meeting to be held at the Baltimore Convention Center is the largest physics meeting in the world, focusing on physics research from industry, universities, and major labs. Scientific sessions and supplemental events for 2013 will take place at the Baltimore Convention Center (BCC).  Scientific sessions will be presented at the Baltimore Convention Center. The outstanding scientific program should include over 100 invited sessions and more than 550 contributed sessions at which approximately 7,000 papers will be presented.

April Meeting 2013 • April 13 - April 16 • Denver, Colorado

The APS April Meeting gathers particle physicists, nuclear physicists, and astrophysicists to share new results and insights. April Meeting 2013 scientific sessions and ancillary activities will take place at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. The April Meeting will offer its usual outstanding scientific program of three plenary sessions (nine plenary talks), approximately 75 invited sessions, more than 100 contributed sessions, and poster sessions. One evening there will be a special public lecture.
