News update 30 March 2026
The 49th Condensed Matter and Materials Meeting (Wagga 2027) will likely be held in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland from 8-12 February 2027.
It will be held in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology (AMN12) hosted by the MacDiarmid Institute. Wagga 2027 will bring condensed matter sessions and the great tradition of a trivia night to Auckland.Roughly 420 people attended AMN11 in 2025. Abstract submissions will close 23 August 2026. Save the date for the 49th Wagga meeting!
The 48th annual condensed matter and materials meeting
in conjunction with
The 6th Asia-Pacific conference on condensed matter Physics
The 48th Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Meeting (known as Wagga2026) was co-branding with the AAPPS Division of Condensed Matter Physics conference - the 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Condensed Matter Physics (known as AC2MP2026)

Wagga2023 delegates under the "old gum tree" at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga Australia
The Australian-New Zealand Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Conference, colloquially known as “Wagga”, has been held almost annually as a residential conference at the Charles Sturt University Conference Centre, Wagga Wagga, NSW, during early February, since 1977. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, in-person conference where we can catch up and hear about recent advances in condensed matter research from around Australia and New Zealand.
In 2026 we are welcoming members of the Asia Pacific Condensed Matter Physics community to Australia! The AIP is a member of the Association of Asia Pacific Physics Societies (AAPPS) supporting physics research and collaboration throughout the Aisa-Pacific region. Since 2021, the AIP has also had representation on the executive committee of the AAPPS subgroup, the Division of Condensed Matter Physics.
This conference is supported by the NSW Government through the Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer.
The Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer (OCSE) provides independent, evidence‐based advice to government on how to address difficult policy problems. OCSE provides funding to the NSW research sector and brings academia, government and industry together to drive the commercialisation of research excellence for the benefit of the state, with a major focus on industry development. OCSE also supports a number of science outreach and engagement activities and events, including the annual Premier’s Prizes for Science & Engineering.
Acknowledgment of Country
The Wagga2026/AC2MP2026 will take place on the traditional lands of the Wiradyuri peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and celebrate the diversity of First Nations peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of Australia. Wagga Wagga is located in the Riverina region of southern New South Wales. Wagga comes from the Wiradyuri word "waga" which is the Wiradyuri stem word for "dance" and by doubling the word ie Wagga Wagga it becomes "the place of much dancing and celebration".
The elders of the Wiradyruri people have given their approval to continue referring to this conference as the "Wagga conference".
