IceCube Particle Astrophysics Symposium 2026

14 Oct 2026, 09:00 → 16 Oct 2026, 14:00 US/Central

Memorial Union

The IPA Symposium brings together the gamma-ray, cosmic-ray, neutrino, and gravitational-wave communities to evaluate the current landscape of multi-messenger astrophysics and discuss the path forward for the next decade.  The timing of the meeting is partly driven by two milestones in the IceCube community: over 15 years of continuous operation of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, and the upcoming first light from the IceCube Upgrade.

 

The Symposium will take place in Memorial Union on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. We look forward to welcoming you to Madison in October 2026.
