Meeting Overview
ExoPAG 33 will be held January 3-4, 2026 at the Phoenix Convention Center, 100 N 3rd St, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
NASA’s Exoplanet Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) meetings are a vital platform where the science community can actively shape the future of exoplanet exploration. By participating in the ExoPAG, you have the unique opportunity to influence NASA by proposing and contributing to Science Interest Groups (SIGs) and Study Analysis Groups (SAGs). These groups focus on specific areas of study with goals such as gathering the latest information from subject matter experts, identifying opportunities to fill knowledge gaps in key areas, and contributing to the overall success of future exoplanet missions.
SIGs and SAGs produce reports and findings that are presented to NASA Headquarters and the Astrophysics Advisory Committee, directly impacting the priorities and strategies of NASA’s exoplanet exploration efforts. Additionally, any ExoPAG member can propose new findings, which are then discussed, voted on, and potentially advanced to NASA Headquarters if approved.
Please register if you plan to attend ExoPAG 33 (whether in person or online).
RegisterEarly Career Talks
NASA's Exoplanet Program Analysis Group's Executive Committee (ExoPAG EC) and NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP) Office invites early career scientists to consider presenting at the next hybrid ExoPAG meeting. The EC and ExEP are particularly interested in attendance and presentations by early career scientists from a range of backgrounds.
As the ultimate users of future NASA facilities, early career scientists are encouraged to attend the ExoPAG meetings to:
- Share your work with a broad audience of scientists, technologists, and program managers
- Learn about NASA's strategic goals and plans, and learn how to impact them through ExoPAG activities.
