NOTICE: The Executive Committee of the HPS is closely monitoring reported COVID-19 outbreaks, epidemiological and pathophysiological projections, CDC guidelines, and US government travel restrictions in an effort to ensure that decisions that might impact our upcoming 2020 HPS Annual Meeting at the Gaylord National in Maryland are timely and in the best interests of our members, registrants, attendees, and HPS.
The 2020 Health Physics Society (HPS) Annual Meeting will be held 5–9 July in National Harbor, Maryland, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. Reservations can be made for either a deluxe guest room for $175 or an atrium view room for $215 (18% taxes additional). Rooms can be reserved at these rates between 3 July and 10 July so you can extend your stay before or after the meeting. Per diem rate rooms are available by calling the hotel directly and asking for the Health Physics Society conference per diem rate (phone: 301-965-4000).
The Health Physics Society is a professional society of individuals who, since 1956, have been devoted to protecting people and their environment from radiation hazards while making it possible to benefit from the many technologies that use radioactive materials and radiation sources. The Health Physics Society provides educational resources related to ionizing radiation, nonionizing radiation, radiation detection, and radiation research. The Health Physics Society is dedicated to making sure individuals who work in the field of health physics have essential information and the capability to protect workers and the public from unnecessary radiation exposure.
