About
Conferences. SBL organizes two major annual academic conferences each year, one in the United States and one outside the U.S. It also sponsors regional meetings in the U.S. The major U.S. meeting brings together more than half of its members as well as members of affiliate organizations to present over 1,000 scholarly papers of new research in hundreds of program unit sessions. The conference also provides an exhibit hall for academic publishers and a job service for academic institutions who interview and hire members. These annual conferences are held in order to accomplish SBL's strategic vision statements: organizing congresses for scholarly exchange; facilitating broad and open discussion from a variety of critical perspectives; and promoting cooperation across global boundaries.
