2026 Bay Area Light Sources Joint Users’ Meeting
September 20-25, 2026 | SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory | Menlo Park, California
This year’s meeting will, for the first time, bring together the user communities from all three light sources—the Advanced Light Source, the Linac Coherent Light Source, the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource—for a week of scientific exchange, new collaborations, and forward-looking discussion.
Join us for interactive workshops, a lively poster session (with many award opportunities), and a riveting plenary session. Don’t miss out—register by September 8.
