Prior Conventions

Each year the ATS holds its annual meeting in proximity to historic observatories and astronomical instrumentation in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Society rotates its meetings to varying locations to best accommodate the access for its many far-spread members. Each meeting generally covers 3-5 days, depending on the location, scheduled papers, and events, and spans over a weekend.
