Annual Leadership Meeting: Connect with APS members at this special event

The APS Annual Leadership Meeting (ALM) will bring together invited American Physical Society members and leaders of the scientific community to enhance their skills as volunteers, network, learn from peers, and shape physics' future. At the Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, D.C., from January 27 - 29, 2027, invited attendees will:

• Connect with others who share a passion for APS community leadership
• Share best practices and cultivate stronger alignment with peer groups
• Celebrate the accomplishments of volunteers

Attendees can also participate in Congressional Visits Day on January 26 - 27, 2027, APS’s annual kickoff advocacy event.

Pre-event: Congressional Visits Day

Congressional Visits Day brings dozens of APS members to Capitol Hill to advocate on behalf of the physics community. Meetings with constituents are one of the most effective ways to influence policymakers.

Each APS member who is selected to attend participates in a comprehensive training process, learning APS’s policy priorities so that they can speak confidently to elected officials and Congressional staff.
