We’re excited to announce the Twelfth Meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language in Philadelphia, October 21-23, 2020. In good scientific tradition and the interest of sustainability, our meeting takes place right before the meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Washington D.C.

The meeting will be held at the Loews Hotel in the heart of Philadelphia’s city center. The hotel is located down the block from Reading Terminal, one of America’s oldest and largest public markets, and no more than fifteen minutes away from major historical attractions such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Italian Market and the Liberty Bell and Constitution Center.

For three days we will enjoy an exciting program with keynote talks by Jenny Crinion (University College London), Elissa Newport (Georgetown University, Washington D.C.), and Hugues Duffau (CHU Montpellier) spanning topics from aphasia therapy, ECoG, to language acquisition. We are inviting competitive symposia, and together with poster sessions and poster slams, we really have lots of exciting speech and language science to look forward to.

We are also pleased to continue nominations of Early Career Awards, sponsored by Brain and Language, to acknowledge young and thriving scientists in the field for their contribution to the neurobiology of language.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in Philadelphia for an exciting meeting with lots of scientific exchange and time to explore American history!
