ALAN 2023 - Conference Venue
We are pleased to announce that the next ALAN conference will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from 10 - 13 August 2023. The conference will be co-hosted by the Calgary Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and the University of Calgary.
There are comfortable accommodations at the University campus, and we will conduct most conference activities at the nearby, superb facilities where you will be able to share and discuss new knowledge about artificial light at night, reconnect with colleagues, and establish new friendships.
The ALAN 2023 planning committee is now developing the conference programme and will publish more information when appropriate. Be sure to watch for the call for papers and posters in September 2022.
While the primary reason to come to Calgary is to attend ALAN 2023, Calgary offers many opportunities to explore and experience the diverse landscapes and culture in this part of Canada, which is part of the traditional territories of the people of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina First Nation, Stoney Nakoda First Nation, and the Métis Nation of Southern Alberta. Calgary is a cosmopolitan city of 1.4 million people located in the southwestern part of the province of Alberta at the western edge of the prairie and a short distance from the Rocky Mountains. Alberta is big and is home to six UNESCO World Heritage sites, five RASC Dark-sky Preserves, one RASC Nocturnal Preserve, one IDA International Dark-sky Park, and one IDA Dark Sky Community.
For those who plan to arrive a day or two before ALAN 2023, we plan to offer two optional, day-long excursions that will take you to westward to see the nearby Rocky Mountains and the Columbia Ice Field or eastward to the Alberta Badlands to explore the time of the dinosaurs.
For those considering a longer vacation before or after ALAN 2023, here are some useful websites to help you plan:
