MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit 2026

The meeting is held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

The audience includes researchers, industry professionals, and students.

It pays off most for materials scientists at any stage, from students to industry researchers, who want to sample many subfields in one week, since the program ranges from quantum materials to energy research and sustainability across the Hynes Convention Center and the neighboring Sheraton Boston Hotel. A specialist who follows only one narrow topic, or who prefers a small workshop with few parallel sessions, would get less from a meeting spread over a convention center and a hotel.

Attendees at materials science meetings usually wear casual or business casual clothing, such as jeans or chinos with a collared shirt or sweater, and comfortable shoes for long days between sessions. Boston at the turn of November and December is cold, so a warm coat is sensible.
