Annual Meeting News

This year, the American Folklore Society is offering three commemorative notebooks to highlight the work of Oregon and Washington artists as part of the Annual Meeting in Portland. These Annual Meeting notebooks are designed to facilitate notetaking, doodling, planning, and networking throughout the meeting and beyond.

Use TriMet's Planner tool to find your best ride to and from the airport according to when you'll arrive and depart, or plan an excursion during your time in town.

Annual Meeting Highlights group thematic concepts, practices, movements, and opportunities offered throughout the meeting in order to guide attendees through the many session and event offerings in ways that align with their interests.

We encourage students to take advantage of these sessions and events. Please visit the AFS Annual Meeting Hub for the most up-to-date scheduling information.

The updated program for the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Folklore Society (both online and in Portland) is now available on the AFS Annual Meeting Hub. 

Registration is now open for the virtual Decolonization 101 Workshop, which takes place from 8:00 am - 12:30 pm on October 11. Developed for the museum and cultural institution audience, Live Oak Consulting's Decolonization 101 Training will offer vital information to create a basis for cross-cultural understanding.

This year, AFS is looking for remote volunteers to serve as Zoom moderators for fully virtual sessions and in-person volunteers to work at the registration desk in Portland.
