Sociological Science conference

The Department of Sociology at Stanford University is pleased to host the third annual Sociological Science conference. The conference will take place June 4th and 5th, 2026, in the Munger Conference Center, Stanford University.

The conference will kick off at 5pm, June 3rd with a reception in Avocado Courtyard, Stanford University. Paper presentations will commence at 9am on June 4th, and on the evening of June 4th, we will host a conference dinner in Paul Brest Hall, Stanford University. The conference will end at 4pm on June 5th. Coffee, lunches, reception, and conference dinner are included in the registration fee.

If you have any questions, you can contact us at: socsciconf [at] stanford.edu (socsciconf[at]stanford[dot]edu).

We have reserved a block of rooms in The Graduate by Hilton Palo Alto. Our reservation block can be accessed through May 4th. If our block is exhausted, please let us know, and we will try to secure additional rooms from the hotel.

The hotel is located on University Avenue, in Palo Alto's downtown. It is located a few minutes' walk from Palo Alto train station, from which the Marguerite shuttles depart.

There are of course many other hotels in Palo Alto. Please be aware, though, that Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is hosting some World Cup games in June (from June 14th onward). Stanford University graduation is also scheduled for June 14th. Demand for hotel rooms, then, might be high around the time of the conference.
