97th Annual PSA 2026 Conference | April 1 - 4, 2026

The 97th Annual Pacific Sociological Association (PSA 2026) Conference gathers brilliant minds to work in powerful community to address critical problems of our time and offer generative pathways forward in our shared futures. For nearly 100-years, the PSA conference has traveled across beautiful Indigenous homelands throughout the Western region of Turtle Island. In this historic moment, we are proud to name the PSA’s conference theme in Indigenous language. The theme of the conference, Shúkwaatnim na iwáyumixa (Yakama Ichishkíin language, English translation of the theme is: Knowledge brings us together), honors the vision of education and learning Yakama Elders have carried and shared Since Time Immemorial. We have partnered with Visit Long Beach to provide you with information to help you plan your time at our conference. There is information on outings and restaurants, many with discounted prices, including the "show your badge" program, which offers discounts at businesses around the city simply by showing your PSA 2026 name badge.
