The Society for Cross-Cultural Research will host its final conference on February 18-21, 2026 in Antigua, Guatemala. The conference will include scientific presentations (in English and Spanish) as well as a chance to reminisce with old and new friends about the history of the Society.
Antigua Guatemala is a beautiful, colorful, and charming UNESCO world heritage site full of history, handicraft markets, indigenous culture, hotels, and restaurants. You can read more about the city here: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/65/
We have secured the Cooperación Española for the conference venue. It is a beautiful colonial building that we are sure you’ll find charming and welcoming. The venue is located on 6th Avenue between 4th and 3rd Streets, and you can find it marked with a blue star in the map of Antigua we posted in a link to the left.
For those interested in exploring more of Guatemala before or after the conference, we’re happy to point you toward some excellent tour operators (see the link to the left).
Specific information is available on this webpage at the links to the left. In the meantime, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact the conference organizers: Judith Gibbons (Judith.gibbons@slu.edu) and Brien Ashdown (bashdown@albizu.edu).
