The Exoplanets in Southern California (ExSoCal) meeting is back for 2025! The last ExSoCal meeting was in 2023, and exoplanet science has continued to grow, with scientists in Southern California helping to lead the way. To capitalize on this and to welcome new exoplanet researchers who have joined us in the past two years, we are organizing the seventh gathering of local exoplanet scientists to allow members of the community to get to know one another and to learn about the many opportunities for collaborations.
Please join us December 15-16, 2025 at UCLA in the Physics and Astronomy Building. This two-day event will consist of a few invited presentations, but will have an emphasis on contributed talks. Colleagues from all southern California institutions are invited! This will not be a hybrid meeting, since its purpose is community interaction.
Registration includes coffee, tea, snakcs, lunch on both days, and a pizza social on Monday, December 15th.
All attendees are expected to follow the Code of Conduct.
Please direct any questions or comments to exsocal2025@ipac.caltech.edu.
