Announcing the Fall 2024 Meeting of the Appalachian Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers
October 18-19, 2024
Marietta College
Marietta, OH

(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.
- We ask that everyone pre-register through the APS registration process. You can get there through the site linked above.
- 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.
- 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).
- Students are free registration.
- HS teachers are free registration.
- We set up a special registration category for A-AAPT members who are not also APS members that is free.
- The banquet cost is $40 for non-students, paid when you register. You can buy guest tickets for $42/ea.
- The banquet cost is $10 for students, paid when they register.
- 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.
- 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).
