Registration is now open so please download the registration form from the "Register" page and send it in. In making travel plans, please note that the conference will begin at 8:30 am on Sunday, 28 May, 2023, and the last event will end at about 6pm on Friday, 2 June. We suggest that all Sunday speakers plan to arrive in Verona on Friday, 26 May. If you are delayed and miss your speaking slot, there will be no chance for you to speak given the full schedule. Having a free day in Verona on Saturday is not so bad...
We suggest that you make refundable hotel and air reservations because predicting the future in an increasingly unpredictable world is difficult...
30 August, 2022 update
We are early in the process and have already exceeded the maximum number of theme-based, long-format session proposals that can be accommodated. Until we know in a few months which longer-format sessions will develop, we are not adding any additional talks to the Scientific Program page. There will be additional space for short-format, theme-based sessions and individual Data Blitz talks, but for now, with the Conference almost a year away, requests to speak will go on a wait list (at bottom below), which we will incorporate into the program as it solidifies. All updates will be posted here, so please check this page regularly to see the current state of the program.
14 June, 2022 update
We have had an unusually quick response to the news of the next meeting, presumably because we are all eager to resume a normal life. As a result, we have already reached the maximum number of longer-format sessions (see the Scientific Program page). Data Blitz slots are still available. Do not delay, as the program fills quickly...please alert any colleagues who might like to attend...everyone is welcome.

We are now starting to build the scientific program. Please let us know via the "Contact page" if you would like to organize a session or be included in a Data Blitz (see below).
Do not delay as the program fills very quickly.

The Data Blitzes are for everyone, and anyone can attend and present data in these well-attended, fast-paced sessions. If you want to give a Data Blitz talk, please read below and send us your information via the "Contact Us" page. Do not delay as the program fills quickly.
Please note that all participants pay the registration fee and the costs of attending as this is an unsponsored, informal meeting. Pre-doctoral students are subsidized with a reduced registration fee.
The Spring Hippocampal Research Conference is designed to bring together students, fellows, researchers, and clinicians interested in all aspects of normal hippocampal formation structure and function in learning, memory, and spatial function, as well as its dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric disorders. In addition to presenting and hearing the latest data in the formal sessions and data blitzes, participants benefit from informal interactions throughout the conference, which will be held every two years in a location that facilitates friendly interactions and future collaborations.
You are invited! This is an entirely open and democratic meeting. As the conference approaches, please contact colleagues and let us know if you plan to organize a session, as the program will fill quickly.
For the formal sessions, please keep in mind the following organizational details when inviting colleagues:
Four speakers in a one hour session (10 minutes for each speaker plus 5 minutes for questions); you can chair the session without speaking if you prefer;
This is an open, informal, and friendly meeting with few rules. The primary goals are to: 1) stay strictly on time, and; 2) have the highest-quality sessions.
For the Data Blitz presentations: 5 minutes for each speaker plus 2 minutes for questions.
