NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) is proud to announce the 53rd Global Monitoring Annual Conference (GMAC) will be held in person May 19-20, 2026 in Boulder, Colorado, fostering collaboration and partnerships in the global atmospheric monitoring community.

This year’s GMAC will be held on the University of Colorado campus in the University Memorial Center’s Glenn Miller Ballrooms. This venue provides a comfortable large meeting space, a dedicated poster display location, and break-out rooms for enhanced collaboration.
The conference will have a nominal registration fee to cover the costs of the facility, coffee breaks, and lunch each day. The registration fee schedule is posted on the conference registration website.
The conference abstract submission website is open through March 31. There is no fee to submit an abstract. Confirmation of acceptance of abstracts will be provided by April 17. Accepted abstract presenters must register for the conference by April 30 in order to be guaranteed their slot in the program.
Pre-conference registration closes April 30. On site registration during the conference will be available at a higher fee. Federal employee registration fees do NOT include food.
