2024 Annual Meeting
The Psychonomic Society's 2024 Annual Meeting will take place November 21-24, in New York City, New York, USA. The Annual Meeting is recognized as the most important international meeting of cognitive psychologists coming from over 40 countries, including some of the field’s most distinguished researchers, innovative early career investigators, and students already making important scientific contributions.

Each year the meeting futures a keynote address, five symposia, concurrent sessions, workshops, poster sessions, and receptions. What brings us together is that we study the basic, fundamental properties of how the mind works by using behavioral techniques to better understand mental functioning.

Over 2,400 scientists will be attending, and 1,400 high-quality scientific research presentations will be given during this dynamic three-day meeting at the New York Marriott Marquis.
