6th Testing Gravity in Vancouver, January 27-30, 2027

11 August 2026

Registration is open for the 6th Testing Gravity conference at SFU Harbour Centre in Vancouver, January 27-30, 2027. Like the previous meetings in this series, TG2027 will feature the latest updates from the gravitational wave detectors, laboratory tests, cosmological surveys and other experiments, as well as discussions of recent theoretical advances.

Testing Gravity remains a topical theme because of the unexplained nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy and the long-standing failure to reconcile gravity with quantum physics. The Testing Gravity conference series aims to provide theorists working on extensions of General Relativity with a realistic perspective on what aspects of their theories can be tested. On the other hand, the experimentalists and observers get a chance to learn about new ideas that their experiments can test.

There will be a one-day “school” on Wednesday, January 27th, featuring review lectures covering the key topics of the conference. The main conference, Jan 28-30, will include invited and contributed talks, and a poster session.

The early registration and abstract submission deadline is Nov 30, 2026. To register and for further information, including special accommodation rates, please visit the conference website at
