The 48th Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Meeting (known as Wagga2026) will be co-branding with the AAPPS Division of Condensed Matter Physics conference - the 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Condensed Matter Physics (known as AC2MP2026)
Wagga2023 delegates under the "old gum tree" at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga Australia
The Australian-New Zealand Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Conference, colloquially known as “Wagga”, has been held almost annually as a residential conference at the Charles Sturt University Conference Centre, Wagga Wagga, NSW, during early February, since 1977. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, in-person conference where we can catch up and hear about recent advances in condensed matter research from around Australia and New Zealand.
In 2026 we are welcoming members of the Asia Pacific Condensed Matter Physics community to Australia! The AIP is a member of the Association of Asia Pacific Physics Societies (AAPPS) supporting physics research and collaboration throughout the Aisa-Pacific region. Since 2021, the AIP has also had representation on the executive committee of the AAPPS subgroup, the Division of Condensed Matter Physics.

Acknowledgment of Country
The Wagga2026/AC2MP2026 will take place on the traditional lands of the Wiradyuri peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and celebrate the diversity of First Nations peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of Australia. Wagga Wagga is located in the Riverina region of southern New South Wales. Wagga comes from the Wiradyuri word "waga" which is the Wiradyuri stem word for "dance" and by doubling the word ie Wagga Wagga it becomes "the place of much dancing and celebration".
The elders of the Wiradyruri people have given their approval to continue referring to this conference as the "Wagga conference".
