History & Facts
AGU (American Geophysical Union) Fall Meeting is the most influential event in the world dedicated to the advancement of Earth and space sciences.
Every year, AGU Fall Meeting convenes >25,000 attendees from 100+ countries to share research and network. Researchers, scientists, educators, students, policymakers, enthusiasts, journalists and communicators attend AGU Fall Meeting to better understand our planet and environment, and our role in preserving its future. It is a results-oriented gathering rooted in celebrating and advancing positive individual and collective outcomes.
The first Fall Meeting was in April 1920 in San Francisco, California. It was also known as the Spring Meeting when AGU had two meetings each year. San Francisco served as the “home” of Fall Meeting until 2017 when AGU adopted the rotation strategy.
