Mark Your Calendars!

Mark your calendars and plan to attend the 47th Stationary Source Sampling and Analysis for Air Pollutants (SSSAAP) Conference, to be held at the Marriott Meadowview Conference Resort & Convention Center in Kingsport, Tennessee. The Source Evaluation Society is planning for its annual international conference to be held Sunday through Friday, March 29-April 3, 2026.


Hosted by the Source Evaluation Society (SES), this annual international gathering brings together stack testing professionals from across the emissions measurement world for technical sessions, poster presentations, and plenty of ad-hoc networking opportunities. Attendees include regulators, industry experts, consultants, scientists, and vendors.

Expect a dynamic agenda covering:

  • Regulatory updates and their real-world impacts
  • Advancements in testing and measurement technologies
  • Field and laboratory problem-solving
  • Data quality and management strategies

The conference will contain ten technical sessions with interactive poster forums designed to spark dialogue, share knowledge, and build community.
