2026 Electrostatics Society of America Annual Meeting

Overview

The Electrostatic Society of America (ESA) is pleased to announce the 2026 Electrostatic Society of America Annual Meeting. This meeting is hosted by NASA’s Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory. Presentation and paper contributions are invited in all scientific and technical areas of electrostatics, ranging from fundamental physics and new developments to applications in industry, atmospheric and space sciences, biology, medicine, energy, and other fields utilizing electrostatic phenomena.

Cocoa Beach is located in Florida’s Space Coast and is the closest beach town to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Between Cocoa Beach and KSC, Port Canaveral is the home base for the Disney Cruise Line and also sees regular cruise traffic from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and MSC. Cocoa Beach is only a 45-minute drive from Orlando-area theme parks, including Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, and several tourist attractions along International Drive.
