The Kentucky Area Astronomical Society (KAAS) will be hosting the Kentucky Area Astronomical Society Meeting on Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11, 2026. The meeting is being hosted by the Cincinnati Observatory and Northern Kentucky University. Attendance and presentation is also available via Zoom. Every year KAAS invites the astronomical community in Kentucky and the surrounding area to the KAAS Meeting. The conference is a one and a half day science meeting with the purpose of fostering closer ties within the local astronomical community in Kentucky and the adjoining states to support research and teaching endeavors in astronomy.
We solicit 15-minute oral and poster contributions, and we are especially interested in having submissions from students and post-docs.

Depending on the number of abstracts, we may invite some posters to be converted to 5 or 10 minute oral presentations, or vice versa. There is no registration fee.
