PAA Annual Meeting
Call for Papers Available
We welcome your submissions for the PAA 2026 Annual Meeting and look forward to a full and rigorous scientific conference in St. Louis next spring! The Call for Papers is now available and the submission system will open August 18. Deadline for submissions is October 5.
Sessions will be in-person at the America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri, May 6 – 9, 2026.
Please note a few important items:
- All accepted presenters will be required to register for the conference by February 4, 2026.
- Individuals can only serve as a presenting author twice on the program (but can have additional roles such as chair or discussant).
- Organizers will not review papers from authors with whom they have a conflict of interest (close collaborators or current students/postdocs). As such, please do not submit your abstract to someone with whom you may have a conflict of interest.
- Unfortunately, PAA cannot accommodate schedule requests; if your paper or poster is accepted, it could be scheduled any time during the annual meeting dates (May 7, 8, or 9).
The submission site will open on Monday, August 18 for submissions. The deadline for all submissions is Sunday, October 5, at 11:59 PM PST.
