PAMLA 2025: An Academic Holiday

What if your next academic conference felt more like a vacation? At PAMLA 2025, we’re bringing together the best of both worlds: an intellectually vibrant gathering in one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities in the world—San Francisco. 

Join us November 20–23 at the sleek and modern InterContinental San Francisco, where PAMLA attendees will enjoy a special conference rate with a massive discount: $179/night compared to $435/night: special (offer link coming soon!)

CFPs are now open for 110+ sessions, a list that grows every day. Paper proposal deadline is May 15th, or when sessions are filled!

Located in the heart of downtown, the hotel is a short walk from the city’s most iconic museums, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. From the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to the Asian Art Museum, from the buzzing cafes of Yerba Buena Lane to the legendary food of Chinatown and the Mission District, there’s something here for everyone.

And with airfare deals popping up across the country, it’s never been easier—or more affordable—to turn your conference attendance into a mini-retreat. Present your research, attend inspiring panels, and then step out into a city full of history, innovation, and stunning views.

So pack your tote bag and your curiosity—PAMLA 2025 is your perfect excuse to explore, recharge, and connect with our burgeoning scholarly community in one unforgettable long weekend. See you by the bay!
