Join us for a great day at the 2026 FAS Convention!

Ancient Tech, Modern Challenges, and the Future of STEM

Join us at the Cardiff University for an exciting event covering a wide range of topics.

Explore the history of astronomy, current challenges, and future possibilities. Engage with leading experts in the field and fellow enthusiasts.

Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just starting your journey into the stars, this convention promises to inspire and educate.

Doors will open at 9 am, with the programme running from 10am to 5pm.

To keep costs down, we are asking you to bring your own lunch. We will provide hot and cold drinks, and biscuits.

NB the exact room we are will be holding the convention in is still to be determined. We will update the location nearer the time. It will either be in the Queens building or Trevithick building. These are right next door to each other.

If you are a member of a FAS Society you can buy tickets at a reduce rate. Enter your promo code as sent to Societies at the top of the next window to reveal these tickets.

Please note the FAS cannot issue the code directly to people as we are unable to verify if you are a member of a given society.

Please do not purchase the FAS society tickets for people who aren't members.

Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
