2024 MRS Spring Meeting
The 2024 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit will be held April 22-26, 2024 in Seattle, Washington. Meeting venues include the Summit, the Seattle Convention Center's brand new addition, as well as the Hyatt Regency Seattle.
The virtual portion of the Meeting is May 7-9, 2024.
The 2024 MRS Spring Meeting is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provides a window on the future of materials science, and offers an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.
2024 Spring Meeting Highlights
The Materials Research Society's 2024 Spring Meeting was a whirlwind of innovation and collaboration. Researchers from across the globe converged to tackle the challenges of tomorrow – from AI's role in materials design, to the latest and greatest in solar power, MRS TV was there to capture all of the brightest ideas at this Spring's meeting. International collaborations and diverse perspectives yielded thought provoking discussions and meaningful connections. We'll see you again in Boston this Fall for another amazing meeting, but in the meantime, you can relive all of the Spring's highlights with MRS TV!

MRS is an incredible community of scholars, innovators, and engineers driven to have a positive impact on the world through new materials. Being an MRS Member gives me access to forefront research spanning materials synthesis, characterization, and applications. The Spring and Fall MRS conferences are among my favorite annual meetings to connect with the community, and the monthly MRS Bulletin is a great way to stay informed about emerging topics in the interim. The MRS community has provided me with the support, inspiration, and resources to accomplish frontier science throughout my career, and I'm grateful to be an MRS Member!
