Annual CMAS Conference 2026

The conference takes place at Grumman Auditorium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

It is most useful for air quality modelers and atmospheric scientists who build or apply community modeling tools, since the long speaker list mixes academic and government researchers and each talk gets a short slot of 15 minutes plus questions, which favors breadth over depth. Those wanting hands-on training or a policy and business audience would get less from it, and remote interest is limited because extended abstracts and presentations are visible only to paid registrants.

Attendees at academic scientific conferences usually wear casual to business casual, such as jeans or khakis with a collared shirt or sweater, and Chapel Hill in October is mild.
