New This Year!

The virtual and in-person meetings will be integrated to allow for more global engagement.

See instructions below for how this will work.

Submission Instructions

Submissions can be submitted via the SMP 2026 conference website at https://mathpsych.org/conference/23/ or using the button below. The submission deadline is February 28, 2026, 23.59 anywhere on Earth. Decisions will be made by April 30, 2026. There will be no extensions on submission deadlines. This is to help us reach decisions on submissions promptly so people can obtain visas and make travel plans. 

Authors can submit for a special fast track poster decision, which will be made by March 13, 2026 (submit as “EARLY CONSIDERATION – MathPsych Poster @ MathPsych/ICCM 2026”). We hope this helps authors who need to apply for visas. If authors like, we will still consider the submission for a spoken presentation, but those decisions will not be posted until April 30, 2026. Note that if you would like to present a spoken presentation, you should submit twice — both an early consideration submission and a talk submission.

Note on Integrated Virtual and In-person conference

Attendees who cannot travel to the in-person meeting can submit SMP/ICCM presentations (talks or fast talks), which will be reviewed in the usual way. These submissions will include a video recording, which will be disseminated prior to in-person meeting. During the in-person meeting, there may be a few opportunities for virtual speakers to engage with the in-person attendees such as a general Q&A session, or a limited number of ‘featured’ virtual talks. 

There will be one hybrid conference room, equipped with an Owl Labs Smart Device, to facilitate interaction among virtual and in-person registrants. Attendees may submit a hybrid symposia or workshop proposal, where at least the lead organizer is in-person, and a minimum of one presenter is virtual. 

The Society will record live presentations at the in-person meeting and disseminate them online after the conclusion of the meeting. These talks will be posted alongside virtual submissions, and the talks can be viewed asynchronously anytime.
