67th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics

November 17-21, 2025 • Long Beach, California USA

Attendees of any APS in-person or virtual events are expected to meet standards of professional conduct as described in the APS Code of Conduct. Violations of these standards may disqualify people from future participation.

Unaffiliated solicitors alert
We want to alert you that you may encounter false claims that are connected to our upcoming meeting, the APS Division of Plasma Physics (DPP) Conference via email. The message is a scam attempting to collect personal or financial information and was not sent by us.

APS reminds you to only register and book your housing directly through this DPP Meeting website, and that it is solely the responsibility of the attendee to register and book their hotel.

We know this kind of activity is frustrating. Thank you for staying alert and helping us maintain a safe and supportive environment for our community.
