IOP Conferences
The Institute of Physics organises a wide range of events which bring together the community from all geographical areas to share research, support learning and to provide networking opportunities. Our special interest groups support this activity by organising events which span the discipline. All events are open and inclusive.
Find out about our programme of online and planned in-person events.
You can also find out information on registration terms and conditions for virtual, physical and hybrid events and conferences, exhibition and sponsorship terms and conditions, and payment information.
‘On-demand’ service
Our online events and webinars are recorded and available on-demand exclusively for members. More information is available on the website.
