What is a Dual Component Annual Meeting?
- Meeting registration includes both components.
- Scholarships are available: Due to COVID-19, and thanks to our generous members, current ASOR members with a need may request a 25%, 50%, or full Annual Meeting scholarship. Email your scholarship request to programs@asor.org before you purchase registration.
- In-person papers will be presented live during the sessions in Chicago.
- Virtual paper presentations will be recorded and uploaded to ASOR’s virtual platform in November.
- Many sessions and workshops are being hosted as part of both components.
- A member may present the same paper both in-person and online and this will count as 1 program appearance.
- Make sure to submit your abstract via both the In-Person AND Virtual proposal forms if you would like to present your paper as part of both components.
- March 15 is the Call for Papers deadline to propose a paper or workshop presentation.
- UPDATE: The extended deadline to submit paper proposals is April 1, 2021.
Abstracts submitted between March 16 – April 1 are subject to a $25 late fee payable in the ASOR Online Store. This fee does not apply if the abstract is solicited by a session chair.

SOR is watching the pandemic and following health and safety guidelines as we make plans to hold a safe in-person meeting. ASOR attendees will enjoy an iconic downtown location at the Hilton Chicago. The hotel overlooks Grant Park and Lake Michigan, and is located within walking distance of museums, restaurants, shopping, and many of Chicago’s top attractions. Read more about the hotel and Chicago here.
The academic program will include an opening plenary address, paper sessions, workshops, and posters. In addition, attendees will have access to exhibitors, receptions and networking opportunities.
Program participants may choose to share their work with those who are not able to attend in person by preparing the same paper or poster for presentation during the virtual component. ASOR is not planning to live stream or record presentations in Chicago, however, presenters may prepare a recording to upload to the virtual component platform.
March 15 is the deadline to propose a paper or workshop presentation proposal for Chicago:

The second component of ASOR’s 2021 Annual Meeting will take place online, December 9-12. As was the case for the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting, the online session time will be used for discussion of presentations. Pre-recorded paper presentations and digital posters will be available to view on demand before the virtual component takes place. Those presenting a paper as part of the virtual component will need to pre-record their presentation and upload the .mp4 file to ASOR’s virtual platform in November. This format will allow scholars who presented in Chicago to share their work with virtual attendees, and vice versa.
A Note About Virtual Workshops: The format for workshops is different from a traditional paper session. Whereas paper presentations for the virtual component will be pre-recorded, workshops will take place live and do not include pre-recorded content or paper presentations. Workshop presentations are limited to 10 minutes maximum.
