UNEARTHING THE PAST SINCE 1900

2026 CALL FOR POSTERS

The Call for Posters Deadline has been extended to August 15. 

The poster session is an opportunity for all ASOR members, especially students and Early Career Members, to be involved in the academic program of ASOR’s Annual Meeting, as well as to get the word out about your research.  Posters are an ideal format for presenting archaeological projects in general; a technical aspect of your project; a spectacular find from the field season; or complex graphic and/or quantitative data.

The 2026 ASOR Poster Session will be held at the Hilton Chicago as part of ASOR’s hybrid Annual Meeting. A poster may be presented in-person during the poster session or shared virtually. All accepted posters will be hosted in an online gallery and the PDF files will be due on November 4.

The in-person Poster Session will be held on November 21 from 12:45-2:00pm. Presenters should plan to be available during this time to speak with attendees and answer questions about their poster.

ASOR Academic Membership and Annual Meeting Registration are requirements for all presenters on the academic program.
