Notice of the Annual Fall Conference, October 2026

The Fall conference in 2026 will take place, DV, in Los Alamos, New Mexico. We hope to hold talks and other events in historic Fuller Lodge, designed by the famous South-Western architect John Gaw-Meem and seen in the Oppenheimer film, and Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church (with use of the church or chapel for services). The houses where Fermi, Oppenheimer and other luminaries lived are preserved on “Bathtub Row” and there are two excellent museums. The extraordinary Bandelier Monument (native American settlement, c. 1400) is nearby, and 17th Century Hispanic villages with their Adobe churches are handy. There are walking tours and the town is scenic (with a backdrop of mountains rising to 10,500 ft), quiet and safe. For those wishing to stay on and make a holiday of the occasion, Taos, quondam home of D.H. Lawrence, and location of the storming of Governor Bent’s residence, UFOs, the Taos Hum and other arcane phenomena is 90 minutes to the North. We hope to operate a shuttle for those who fly into Santa Fe (40 minutes) or Albuquerque (1 hour 30 minutes). There is an excellent (world-class) pipe organ in Santa Fe for a recital.

Please note that the 2027 conference is to be held somewhere along/around the Chicago-Detroit-Ann
Arbor-Wisconsin trajectory. Advice on possible locations will be gratefully received.
