The 2026 AIA/SCS Joint Annual Meeting will take place January 7-10 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. Each year over forty companies exhibit and the showroom floor is always expanding to welcome new international and domestic exhibitors and attendees. We welcome book, software/technology, outdoor gear, archaeological supply, travel, job placement, and finance companies as well as educational institutes, field schools, funding and non-profit agencies. Additionally, we seek artisans related to the classics/archaeology and local destination crafts and goods. This year’s conference will be primarily in-person, but will also feature several hybrid tracks as well as a small number of virtual events.
