New York Area Exoplanets Meeting
Important Information
New York Area Exoplanets seeks to connect astronomers in the greater New York area working in the field of exoplanet science (or related ventures) for a one day conference in NYC.
This year’s meeting will be held on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025 from 9AM - 5PM and hosted by the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) at the Flatiron Institute.
There is the option to attend a morning coffee from 8:30AM - 9AM and a reception from 5PM - 6PM.
We can accomodate ~ 100 attendees.
