2026 AAAS Annual Meeting
Phoenix, AZ, February 12-14
REVIEWERS
Panel Discussion proposal reviewers play an essential role in shaping a strong and well-balanced program for the Annual Meeting. If you have a Ph.D., M.D., or other advanced degree, provide us with information about your scientific background.
DEADLINE: April 25
DISCUSSION PANELS
Science and technology experts assemble in small multi-disciplinary panels to discuss research that advances knowledge and/or responds to the needs of society. During these 60-minute sessions, a panel of three speakers give 10-minute presentations followed by audience questions and comments.
DEADLINE: May 6
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are aimed at individuals seeking careers in science and engineering and professionals looking to sharpen or supplement their skills. These workshops are instructional and interactive in nature and are markedly different from a Panel Session. Workshops may have up to 3 presenters and will be 60 minutes in length.
DEADLINE: May 6
Theme of the 2026 AAAS Annual Meeting – Science @ Scale – inspires us to draw attention, more than ever, on daring to explore the inconceivable and embrace informed risk, while also conceptualizing value for the public good. Our communities of scientists, policy makers, the public / private sectors, and the public are equal partners in the integrative scaling of new knowledge, large-scale data, complex systems, and policy innovation for impact. Join us in this important conversation.
