2025 ANNUAL METSOC MEETING INVITATION

You are cordially invited to attend the 87th annual meeting of The Meteoritical Society, which will take place from July 13 to 18, 2025, at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Center (PCEC) in Perth, Western Australia. The meeting is hosted by Curtin University’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the Space Science and Technology Centre. On-site conference registration will begin at 3 pm on Sunday, July 13, with a welcome reception commencing at 5 pm at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, home of one of the largest meteorite collections in the world. Oral and poster sessions as well as the Barringer Invitational Lecture will take place at the PCEC. Proposals for additional special sessions are encouraged. Further details regarding the scientific program will be provided at a future date. Details will be posted at https://metsoc2025.au/. PCEC is located at Elisabeth Quay in the heart of Perth’s central business district (CBD) with plenty of accommodation options within walking distance, and also a free public bus ride within the CBD. The annual banquet will be held at Fraser’s Restaurant in Kings Park on Wednesday evening. Kings Park is a short (but uphill) walk from PCEC. It is worth it – you will be impressed with spectacular views of Perth city and the Swan River. Currently there are no public health restrictions on gatherings in Perth and elsewhere in Western Australia. We are planning for an in-person only meeting. Transportation to PCEC from Perth Airport is easy – either by public transport, taxi or Uber. Perth is a vibrant city with many entertainment options. The great outdoors of bush and beyond is a short drive away. We are offering a plethora of geology and non-geology tours available to be pre-booked at registration and on site. Due dates will be released soon, but expect the usual timeframes. For those needing a visa to enter Australia, please allow for a 2-month lead-in time to avoid disappointment. July is winter in Australia, so expect shorter daylight time and cool days (perfect for field trips!). Rain is a possibility although usually doesn’t last too long. We encourage you to reserve the dates of July 13–18 (and longer if you opt for a post-conference field trip to see Australian impact craters) on your calendar today! Please note that the Meteoroids conference is also happening in Perth a week before MetSoc, for those brave enough to undertake a back-to-back conferences. We look forward to welcoming you to Perth in 2025!
