ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 20, 2025
The 63rd Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia will be hosted at
the Horton Grand Hotel (https://www.hortongrand.com/), a beautifully
reconstructed historic landmark in the vibrant Gaslamp Quarter of
downtown San Diego, California. We encourage onsite attendance –
required for platform presenters – although we also offer the option
to participate online via an interactive hybrid platform. The
conference reception and welcome party will be held Monday October
27th during a twilight cruise on San Diego Bay. The Academy welcomes
submissions of experimental, clinical, theoretical, and historical
research from any field that contributes to the study of aphasia,
including Speech-Language Pathology, Psychology, Neurology,
Neuroscience, Linguistics, History, and Computational Modeling.
This year’s keynote speaker will be Victor Ferreira Ph.D.
(https://psychology.ucsd.edu/people/profiles/vferreira.html),
Professor of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego.
Dr. Ferreira is a renowned expert in the field of language processing
and cognitive neuroscience, with groundbreaking research on the
lexical and syntactic mechanisms involved in language production,
learning, and communication.
Now in its eighth year, the NIDCD-funded Academy of Aphasia conference
grant (R13 DC017375) will sponsor selected student fellows to attend
and present their work at the conference, pending continued funding.
Selected fellows will also receive focused mentoring and training from
expert faculty at the meeting. Both U.S. and international students
submitting a first-author abstract are eligible to apply; please
contact Swathi Kiran (kirans at bu.edu) or Heather Dial
(hrdial at central.uh.edu) with inquiries. The grant also sponsors a
state-of-the-art New Frontiers in Aphasia Research seminar. This year,
behavioral and cognitive neurologist Dr. Zachary Miller
(https://profiles.ucsf.edu/zachary.miller), Associate Professor of
Neurology at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center and Weill Institute for
Neurosciences, will present on risk factors for neurodegenerative
disease.
Abstract guidelines
Submission procedures. Abstracts (max. 500 words) must be submitted

an account to register with the platform. An individual can submit and
participate in more than one abstract, but can be listed as first
author on only one submission.
Presentation types. This includes papers (i.e., platform and poster
sessions) consisting of original research that has not yet been
published and symposia (i.e., 3-4 platform sessions focusing on a
common theme) consisting of original or previously published research.
Platform session presenters will be required to attend and present
onsite (in San Diego). Poster session presenters have the option to
present onsite (in San Diego) or present in the online poster hall.
Templates. All abstracts should conform to a specified template format
(templates for either platform/poster presentation or symposia are
available at https://www2.academyofaphasia.org/2025-annual-meeting/).
Please use the correct template to be considered for acceptance to the
conference program.
