Conference Registration

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2025 SAA Annual Meeting! As part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility and professional engagement, SAA will host its fourth hybrid Annual Meeting. Regardless of whether you attend in person or remote, you will have full access to recorded content after the conference. Your registration fees help offset rising costs associated with hotel and audiovisual services while also sustaining SAA’s ongoing initiatives, including advocacy efforts, scholarly publications, educational programming, and professional development opportunities.

Your Registration Includes:

  1. Access to the main conference from Monday, August 25, through Wednesday, August 27, at the Hilton Anaheim and on the virtual conference platform.
  2. Forty sessions accepted by the Program Committee, along with two plenaries, open forums, vendor mini-theaters, “Networking Lounges,” and a variety of other networking events. All recorded content will be available on demand to conference registrants after the meeting.
  3. Exclusive access to the Exhibit Hall, a must-visit destination during the SAA Annual Meeting, offering valuable opportunities to connect, learn, and explore resources designed for archives and records professionals.
  4. Professional and Graduate Student posters will be displayed in the conference hotel and on on the conference platform.
  5. SAA Section and appointed group meetings will occur between July and August, online via Zoom. All Section meetings will be free for anyone to attend live or to view on-demand afterward (if groups choose to record).
  6. The SAA Research Forum will occur as two 3.5-hour virtual sessions on Wednesday, July 23 and Wednesday, July 30.
