ANS Winter Conference and Expo 2026

The conference is at Arizona Grand Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona.

The audience includes nuclear science and technology professionals, senior decision-makers, students, young members, and university graduates.

It is worth it for nuclear industry professionals who want technical sessions and exhibit contact in one place, since speakers include Ray Rothrock and Craig Piercy and the expo runs for three days. Attendees reportedly include senior decision makers as well as students and young members, which suits vendors and early-career job seekers, while specialists wanting deep research presentations may prefer a dedicated technical meeting.

Nuclear industry conferences usually call for business casual, with suits for executives and panel speakers. The resort setting in Phoenix in November means light layers work well, since days are warm and evenings cool.
