NEARA will be holding the Spring 2026 NEARA Conference, including the Annual General Meeting, online via Zoom on May 2nd. The Zoom meeting is just a part of a series of exciting events happening across the northeast from April through June. Join us at as many events as you can.
We had originally reserved Camp Wightman in North Stonington CT for the spring conference, but that reservation fell through, and we were not able to find an available venue for late April in both quality and price in that area. Hence the decision to hold the Annual General Meeting and have talks via Zoom. The big benefit is that you won't incur any hotel room costs, nor will you be paying for the hotel meeting costs (hall and food).
But we really want people to get together, so are hosting get-togethers at a few locations, and field trips will occur at various locations in the northeast. And we have decided to extend the nature of conference-related events to include activities beyond the usual field trips.
The virtual meeting will be on May 2nd and will be free to all. To make watching the presentations more convivial, we are arranging watch parties at several locations:
For more information about the New Hampshire events, reach out to Devon Toland at NH-coord@neara.org.
Contact Terry Deveau at Atlantic-Canada-coord@neara.org for more information.
We encourage all members to organize their own local watch parties where you can gather with fellow members and enjoy the meeting together. Learn about the new sites and research being done in your area.
If you are interested in setting up a watch party, please contact spring26@neara.org for assitance.
Join the conversation by being a member of the NEARA Forum, forum@neara.org. It's a great platform for sharing your thoughts and questions and connecting with NEARA members.
It takes a lot of work to assemble a good program for a conference. We would like it if all NEARA members would give us their suggestions for speakers who they would like to see. So we have created a form for you to fill out for each person you recommend: Suggest a Speaker
