CEMS 2019

We are excited to inform you that we plan to host the 17th Annual Context and Episodic Memory Symposium (CEMS2021) to be held at the Logan Hotel, in Philadelphia, PA, on August 16th and 17th, 2021. The symposium provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among colleagues working on theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of context and episodic memory, broadly construed. While we are aware that travel remains a challenge for many in our community, we also believe in the value of CEMS, even at a more intimate scale, to disseminate outstanding research from a diverse array of perspectives. All presentations at this year’s meeting will be delivered in person.

Our program committee has decided to use this year’s meeting to highlight the work of younger investigators, particularly postdocs and junior faculty. These two groups will be prioritized for spoken presentations. All other groups who submit work (senior faculty, graduate students) will be given poster presentations.No more than two spoken presentation requests should be submitted per lab group (i.e., presentations with the same senior author).All spoken presentations will be short talks (~15 min).

We also seek to highlight the work of women and under-represented groups in the field of memory research, and hope all members of the community will be encouraged to submit abstracts for consideration. To submit an abstract, please use the attached google form (https://forms.gle/YFCdSgi3exv6sg1y7) and indicate your preference for a spoken presentation or poster.

The deadline for abstract submissions is July 2, 2021. A link for registration and travel information will be made available in the coming week. Given the short timeline for this year’s in-person conference, we will accept abstracts on a rolling basis and encourage you to submit as soon as possible. This will allow us to provide acceptance notifications sooner and facilitate travel and hotel planning. Please feel free to forward this invitation to any other colleagues who may be interested in submitting.


The symposium is designed to be a forum for the exchange of ideas among colleagues working on theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of context and episodic memory, broadly construed. We have made talks from the symposium publicly available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMaPz0dq9lX3bXK-zbsMbA/videos?disable_polymer=true

Abstract Submission

Abstract submission is now OPEN for CEMS 2021!

We welcome submissions of abstracts for one of two categories: spoken presentation or poster presentation (please select your preferred categories for your submission), and welcome submissions from all members of the scientific community. Our program committee has decided to use this year’s meeting to highlight the work of younger investigators, particularly postdocs and junior faculty. These two groups will be prioritized for spoken presentations. All other groups who submit work (senior faculty, graduate students) will be given poster presentations. No more than two spoken presentation requests should be submitted per lab group (i.e., presentations with the same senior author). All spoken presentations will be short talks (~15 min).

Please submit your abstract to this google form (https://forms.gle/YFCdSgi3exv6sg1y7) by Friday, July 2, 2021. We encourage submission of a written description of work (e.g., an extended, more detailed abstract or preprint) in addition to an abstract if such a description is available; this additional information is especially useful for the selection of spoken presentations.

Poster Presentations

Poster dimensions should be no larger than 40x60 inches. Poster boards, easels, and push pins will be provided.
