Most planetariums are members of a planetarium society. Generally, the society members meet once a year at varied locations.
Those who would like to find out about planetarium societies and conventions can contact IPS for further information.

The IPS is the largest organization, bringing together more than 800 members worldwide. The most important goal of the IPS is an exchange of experience. Membership is open to everyone with an interest in planetariums, as much for people as for institutions.
The IPS releases the quarterly journal "Planetarian" with current astronomical topics, tips, and tricks of planetarium technology touching on operational questions. The IPS conducts its international convention in two year intervals at changing locations.
