The 4th International Conference on Working Memory 

25th to 27th June, 2024, Leeds, UK

The 2024 International Conference on Working Memory (ICWM) is being held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of the seminal Baddeley and Hitch (1974) framework for working memory. The conference will cover the full range of theoretical and empirical approaches to the understanding and study of working memory. This is the 4th ICWM, with previous meetings having taken place in Cambridge (1994 & 2014) and Kyoto (2004).

The meeting will be held at the University of Leeds, UK.

The conference will run from lunchtime on the 25th June until the afternoon of 27th June, 2024. There will be a single series of talks from a group of invited speakers, and two poster sessions (with around 50 posters in each session).

Information regarding the conference can be found via the menu links. We hope all attendees enjoy the conference and their visit to Yorkshire!
