What is the PhysioHub?
Located in the Long Beach Convention Center, the PhysioHub is the heart of the American Physiology Summit (#APS2024) experience. Each day, there will be new and exciting opportunities for scientific exchange, networking and collaboration.
In addition to the APS Homebase—your main touchpoint for the American Physiological Society (APS) and meeting information—the PhysioHub will be home to poster receptions, mini lounges and concessions. Four stages with content designed to move your work and career forward—including essential career skills like advocating for science, funding your research, educating your students and publishing your work—will also be in the PhysioHub.
All times listed are PDT.
