 (The site is under construction, check back for updates.)

 Since this will be a joint meeting with the Eastern Great Lakes Section of the American Physical Society and Zone 7 of the Society of Physics Students, please note a few instructions below. 

  1. We ask that everyone pre-register through the APS registration process.  You can get there through the site linked above.
  2. Pre-registration closes October 4, because we need to get an accurate banquet count 2 weeks before the meeting.  The registration site will reopen the day of the conference for walk-up registration, but there will be no banquet option day-of.
  3. If you are an APS member, you should pay the APS registration price of $50 when you register online (choose the option labelled “I will attend in person,” not the A-AAPT option).
  4. Students are free registration.
  5. HS teachers are free registration.
  6. We set up a special registration category for A-AAPT members who are not also APS members that is free.
  7. The banquet cost is $40 for non-students, paid when you register.  You can buy guest tickets for $42/ea.
  8. The banquet cost is $10 for students, paid when they register.
  9. There will also be charge for the Saturday A-AAPT lunch, probably ~$15, plus the normal $10 per person for A-AAPT dues, collected on site Saturday morning.
  10. Finally, everyone should submit abstracts for talks or posters through the APS Abstract submission site.  Abstracts are due by Sept. 24.

 We hope to see you all in Marietta October 18-19.  We have a lot of things lined up (4 plenary speakers, a poster session, contributed sessions, a workshop, SPS-specific activities, and a river-cruise for the banquet).
