The Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) Conference is held each year at a different hosting astronomical institution.

The Conference provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction and analysis of astronomical data. An important element of the program is to foster communication between developers and users with a range of expertise in the production and use of software and systems. The program consists of invited talks, contributed papers, and poster sessions. A number of user group meetings and special interest group meetings (called BOFs) are also held during the Conference.
