Spend a packed weekend making new connections, interacting with scientists and distinguished speakers, debating common concerns of the physics and astronomy communities and society, and visiting iconic scientific venues. Stay for the student costume and dance party on Saturday night!

The 2025 theme, Supporting our Phase Shifts, was chosen by the program committee to describe the radical shifts current physics and astronomy majors have experienced in recent years. Our goal with the 2025 Congress is to share with students how to shift into the next phase of their career, whether that is going to grad school, pursuing a career in industry or a national lab, or something completely unique.

The event is supported by the American Institute of Physics and hosted by Sigma Pi Sigma , the physics and astronomy honor society. Anyone interested in physics and astronomy is invited to attend.
