Annual Meeting Bulletin | 7 January 2021
2021 AMS Annual Meeting
Call for Proposals
The AMS invites proposals for the 87th AMS Annual Meeting, scheduled to be held in Chicago at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel, 4-7 November 2021. Eligibility requirements and submission details are available on the AMS conference website. (Note: Even if you have submitted to AMS before, you will need to create a new user account.) Paper and performance proposals are due 16 February. Committee and study group proposals are due 15 March and applications for the guest speaker fund are due 22 January.
COVID-19 and the 2021 AMS Annual Meeting
In the event that pandemic conditions do not allow us to hold an in-person Annual Meeting in 2021, the AMS will instead hold a virtual meeting using the same format as the 2020 AMS Annual Meeting. Under that format, paper, poster, and performance presentations must be prerecorded. Scheduled sessions on the program will be used for live Q&As with session presenters. Workshops, roundtables, and featured lectures will be held live. For more information on last year's virtual meeting format, consult the 2020 Annual Meeting page on the AMS website.
Call for Proposal Reviewers
The AMS calls for volunteers to serve as proposal reviewers for the 2021 Annual Meeting. AMS members with a PhD in musicology or a related field, but who are not submitting a proposal, are eligible to serve. Reviewers will be selected on a first come, first serve basis.
Apply for Guest Speaker Funds
To foster interdisciplinarity, the AMS invites applications from AMS Committees and Study Groups to sponsor guest speakers from outside the field to participate in their Annual Meeting sessions. Applications are due 22 January.
