Meeting Program
The 2024 AAAS Annual Meeting will convene in person in Denver, Colorado, February 15-17
Science and technology would proceed faster and better in an ecosystem free of barriers that currently separate us by discipline, approach, institution, nation, access, wealth, seniority, race, and gender; we shall explore problems, consider solutions, and envision science without walls. Theme of the 2024 AAAS Annual Meeting is Toward Science Without Walls.
AAAS President Dr. Keith Yamamoto is the Chair of the 2024 meeting. See full list of the 2024 Program Committee.
Join us in Denver and be a part of the 2024 AAAS Annual Meeting program:
Scientific Sessions: Science and technology experts assemble in small multi-disciplinary panels to discuss research that advances Toward Science Without Walls. During these 60-minute sessions, a panel of three speakers give 10-minute presentations followed by audience questions and comments.
Lightning Talks: Early career researchers take the stage for ten minutes to discuss their STEM work.
Workshops: Workshops are aimed at individuals seeking careers in science and engineering. Workshops are instructional and interactive in nature and are markedly different from a scientific session. Workshops may have up to 3 presenters and will be 60 minutes in length.
