Upcoming ICOPS Conference

Registration is open for the International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) June 22-26, 2026 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The official ICOPS 2026 site (https://icops.ieee.org/icops2026/) is your go-to source for updates, deadlines, venue info, and everything you need to be part of this premier event in plasma science.   

We also invite you to visit the PSAC ICOPS website (https://icops.ieee.org/) — your central hub for all things ICOPS, PSAC news, initiatives, and conference updates.  Links to both sites are also found at the PSAC main website (link to https://ieee-npss.org/technical-committees/plasma-science-and-applications/).  Whether you’re a returning attendee, new to the community, or considering getting involved, we invite you to explore each of these sites, share them with your colleagues, and stay connected.
