The 12th Gulf Coast Gravity Meeting (GCGM) will be held at Troy University in Troy, Alabama on April 17–18, 2026. GCGM is a regional conference that brings together researchers working in all areas of gravitational physics—classical and quantum, theoretical and experimental—primarily from the Southeastern United States. However, participants from all regions are warmly welcome.

The most recent edition was held at the University of Mississippi. In keeping with the tradition of the Gulf Coast Gravity Meetings, the program will feature short contributed talks and will continue to serve as a communication medium among all branches of gravitational physics, promoting dialogue and collaboration across subfields. Students and postdoctoral researchers are especially encouraged to participate and present their work.

A prize sponsored by the APS Division of Gravitational Physics will be awarded for the best talk given by a student at the meeting.
