ARCE's 2021 Annual Meeting
Welcome to the ARCE 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting, which will take place from April 22-25, 2021, from 09:00 AM US Eastern Time to 5:00 PM US Eastern Time each day.
This year, each of the four consecutive days is divided into three concurrent speaker sessions where scholars and expedition leaders present their research findings and discuss the latest developments in their projects. Speaker sessions begin on the morning of April 22 (Thursday) and end in the evening of April 25 (Sunday). The ARCE 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting features approximately 100 individual presentations, plus a keynote presentation. All sessions for the Virtual Annual Meeting will be recorded. Registration includes free and unlimited access to all recordings for one year and will be made available at the conclusion of the Virtual Annual Meeting. View our session schedule HERE.
This event provides a unique opportunity for scholars, students, ARCE members, and the general public to hear from and engage directly with those working in the field. To view abstract booklets from our past Annual Meetings, click HERE.

Reduced Rates:
Rates for the ARCE 2021 Annual Meeting are reduced due to the exclusively virtual format and to lessen the potential financial impact of participating in the meeting due to the pandemic. Though we anticipate registration fees to return to normal for the in-person Annual Meeting in 2022 (April 22-24, 2022 in Irvine, CA) ARCE will continue to monitor the situation and do all we can to lower attendance barriers.
