See you in Seattle! 2026 Conference Hotel Booking Now open

The SOF has negotiated a very special group rate for the conference — $259 per night (single or double). That rate is guaranteed even for the Wednesday before and the Sunday after and should be honored for further extensions. If any problems with your booking, please contact Conference Chair Don Rubin at drubin@yorku.ca and he will try to work his magic to solve them.

The theme for this year’s conference is “North By Northwest — Madness, Travel and Discovery in Oxford’s Shakespeare.” The first call for Papers has just been issued with a deadline of 15 April.

Registration for the full Conference is set at $350 and will be able to be booked through the SOF website shortly. A $25 discount will be given to all SOF members and an additional $25 discount will be given for anyone registering on or before August 23 meaning that for most, the conference cost will actually be $300. The special  conference rate is also extended to partners of members. Online attendance is set at a flat $125.

Conference space is, of course, limited by our facilities and our last three conferences in New Orleans, Denver and New Haven were sold out weeks in advance. Book early to insure your place.
