I have a question about possible exhibiting at the Physics Congress this year. Is there any information about exhibitor registering for this event?
Thanks!
Corey
We’re working on getting this information together! But, for more information right now you can go ahead and contact Kendra Redmond at kredmond(at)aip.org
Will you be live streaming any of the talks? Or at least putting some online after the event?
Thanks
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to live stream any of the talks. We aren’t sure what content will be available online after the event yet, but we’ll keep you posted!
