2026 PDG Collaboration and Advisory Committee Meetings
The 2026 PDG Collaboration and Advisory Committee meetings will take place at CERN on:
- Thursday, 8 October for the PDG Collaboration Meeting (without Advisory Committee)
- Friday, 9 October for the Advisory Committee Meeting
In addition, there will be two satellite meetings on Wednesday, 7 October (Note: each satellite meeting has a separate Zoom ID):
- Implications and use of AI for PDG (morning)
- Meson team meeting (afternoon, organized by meson team)
These meetings are essential for the future work of the Particle Data Group. All PDG collaborators are strongly encouraged to attend both the Collaboration Meeting and the meeting with the Advisory Committee.
In-person attendance is strongly encouraged, but video connection will be provided to support remote participation.
Please register for both in-person and zoom attendance (there is no registration fee).
Participants are responsible for their own accommodation. For details on how to book a room at the CERN Hostel, see Accommodation.
Coffee breaks are generously sponsored by CERN Experimental Physics (EP) Department and LBNL.
On Thursday evening, the PDG Collaboration Meeting dinner will be held at Restaurant 1 at CERN on the evening of 8 October. The dinner is sponsored by LBNL and CERN. If you plan to attend the Collaboration Dinner, please register.
