Meetings
Meetings for the Society of Research on Biological Rhythms occur once every two years, typically in May or June. The location of the meeting is determined by the President of the SRBR with input from members. Typically, the meeting is held in a location in Florida, however, there have been several exceptions. Meetings are typically four to five days, and are open to registered members. The meetings serve as a forum to share the latest research in biological rhythms, and typically have several poster sessions and talks over the course of the meeting. According to 2016 President Paul Hardin, the meeting is "an exceptional forum for hearing the latest cutting-edge research, reengaging with colleagues from years past, and exchanging ideas that will shape the future of the field with a talented and diverse group of chronobiologists from around the globe."

Additionally, there is a keynote speaker, known as the Pittendrigh/Aschoff speaker, named after chronobiologist Colin Pittendrigh and Jürgen Aschoff that speaks on the last day of the meeting. Notable past Pittendrigh/Aschoff speakers include Fred Turek, Joseph Takahashi, and Michael Young.

In addition to lectures and poster sessions, the meeting also serves as an opportunity to review the state of the society and introduce the incoming SRBR administration and officially transfer the presidency to the president-elect.
