AAPS, Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences

Each year, we hold an elegant, professional banquet and charity auction at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Tucson East at 6555 East Speedway, at Craycroft. This excellent hotel provides first class service.

The 2027 dinner will be held on Saturday February 6, 2027 at 7:00 PM. Doors to the ballroom will open at 6:00 PM. The general public is invited to the meeting and there will be a cash bar.

When in Tucson, pick up a copy of the "AAPS Guide to Fossil Dealers and Events," available at many of the shows for details on the meeting and other events.

The annual banquet is held in conjunction with over 50 different Tucson gem, fossil, mineral, and meteorite shows each February (at which new, grants, scholarships and awards are presented, and our annual banquet and auction are held).
