NOWCAM 2025 will be held in Victoria, BC, Canada, from May 8–10 on the UVic campus.

We kick off NOWCAM 2025 with an informal no-host gathering on the evening of May 8 at CRAFT Beer Market.

Proposals to present papers/posters will be invited starting in March, with a deadline of 1 April. Registration will also open in March.

Original NOWCAMper Prof. Ira Hyman of Western Washington University to deliver the 2025 keynote: “Varieties of False Beliefs and False Memories.”

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.
