Improving the April Meeting

A Task Force was established in 2013 to examine just this issue. Please read their report before proceeding further! Report of the APS Task Force to Re‐envision the April Meeting

Comments on the Task Force Report

  • (name) go ahead and put comments here…
What do you think of moving the meeting to October?
What do you think of having DPF every year and only attending APS every other year
  • (Prisca) This has been suggested, but I think it will be both confusing as well as continuing the downward spiral of attendance. We should be encouraging attendance every year and emphasizing complementary aspects.

Outreach at the April Meeting

  • Pick a member of the Program Committee to be in charge of outreach - they can work with newest DPF outreach coordinator
  • Start Denver 2019 work right away
  • Involve local institutions (e.g. Science Museum, Universities, technical colleges, High Schools, QuarkNet.
  • Learn from the Plasma Physics people
  • Link to the overall theme of the meeting. e.g. Screening Interstellar this April with Kip Thorne - since the theme is LIGO and the Nobel Prize.
