SEM’s Annual Meeting attracts participants from around the world. With a wide variety of scholarly presentations, discussions, films, workshops, and concerts, the meeting is a prime occasion to learn about current research in ethnomusicology and to make or renew contacts with others in the field. For most meetings, a local host institution organizes a pre-conference symposium and special events that highlight local music ensembles and resources. Prizes for outstanding work in ethnomusicology are also awarded during the meeting.
