The Pacific Northwest is home to numerous Psychology departments with strengths in cognition and memory. The aim of NOWCAM is to support Pacific Northwest faculty and student researchers working in the general area of memory and cognition by creating an annual venue in which they can share their current research activities with an informed, sympathetic, and good-humoured group of fellow explorers. Inclusive, kind, and intellectually stimulating.  Interactions with other researchers can spark innovations and cross-fertilizations that move the research forward in new and exciting ways. In any case, it’s good fun to get together with friends and colleagues who share similar interests, chew the cognitive rag a bit, and quaff a beverage or two over a good meal. 

With the exception of a keynote address, NOWCAM papers and posters are presented by undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students (usually with faculty as co-authors). This gives students an opportunity to develop their chops, and faculty a chance to sit back and relax.

Registration for 2024 is $30 for students, $60 for faculty. For now, just pre-register by clicking “Upcoming Meeting” in the upper right; we will invite payment a bit closer to the date. The submission portal is also open (deadline 12 April 2024). Use the “Upcoming Meeting” drop-down.

NOWCAM will kick off with an optional social gathering at CRAFT Beer Market starting around 6 (or whenever) on Thursday 2 May. There will be a schedule of talks and posters all day Friday and part of the day Saturday. Usually each talk is 15 minutes (but a slightly different limit may be set depending on other scheduling considerations; details soon). The program will be posted 23 April 2024..
