The 70th Annual Meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology will be held on October 23 - 26, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Marriott Marquis Downtown Hotel. A pre-conference symposium, “HBCU Connections: Engaging Students in Black Music and Ethnomusicology,” will be held on Wednesday, October 22. We are excited to return to an in-person event for SEM’s 2025 Annual Meeting.

The SEM 2025 Program Committee asks participants to submit their best work on any topic related to ethnomusicology and to be creative with presentation formats. In addition, we suggest that SEM sections, special interest groups, and other constituent units consider sponsoring organized sessions. The deadline for abstract proposal submissions is February 17, 2025. Please see the SEM website for the full guidelines and submission instructions: https://www.ethnomusicology.org/page/Conf_2025. Whether you plan to submit an abstract or not, mark your calendars and join us in Atlanta, October 22 - 26!
