Events and Activities
Get Involved
The DPP Pride committee sponsors a variety of annual and ongoing events and activities. See Announcements and the calendar for up-to-date details.
APS DPP Meeting Activities:
Join us at the DPP Annual Meeting for a variety of community-building events, including:
- A hosted luncheon and panel discussion, which will provide a public forum for LGBT+ physicists and allies to network and interact.
- An informal networking dinner, first established in 2015. The networking dinner provides a safe space for LGBT+ physicists to create important and meaningful connections to members within their own community that might otherwise be difficult to establish, without fear of exposure to discrimination or harassment.
- A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) booth, sponsored in collaboration with Women+ in Plasma Physics and the DEI Organizing Collective Committee. The booth highlights DEI activities and events at the DPP meeting, and provides general DEI information and opportunities.
