Mobile App for APS Meetings

Download the APS Physics Meetings & Events app to stay up-to-date at our in-person meetings.

To reduce paper waste from our meetings and to provide a better in-person experience, many APS events are eliminating a printed bulletin and using the APS Physics Meetings & Events mobile app.

The mobile app is for on-site conference attendees. For virtual meeting components, please use the virtual conference platform.

The APS Physics Meetings & Events mobile app allows attendees to view the agenda, connect with fellow attendees and presenters, learn about exhibitors, and stay updated on any changes during the meeting. To access the content on the APS Physics Meetings & Events app, you must be registered to attend the meeting and log into the app.

Bulletin My Scheduler syncs to the app

Stay up-to-date with schedule changes at APS events by importing your saved "My Scheduler" from the online meeting bulletin. The two-way synchronization between "My Scheduler" and the APS Physics Meetings & Events app allow your schedule to stay automatically updated so you won't miss a thing.

To use this feature, you must have created a schedule of events on the online meeting bulletin and provide the username and password of your APS Member Profile in the APS Physics Meetings & Events app.

To allow for synchronization, please use the minimum Attendee Info Sharing option, listed as Share basic info, found in the Privacy Options menu in the Mobile App. Sync will not be possible if "Do Not Share Anything" is selected.
