SCAMS 3 (The third Southern California Annual Meeting on Syntax) will be hosted in person at the  Pomona College, on November 4, 2023. 

The mission of SCAMS is to be a fairly informal, low-stress meeting that will build camaraderie amongst Southern California syntacticians, while creating an accessible venue for syntacticians of all levels to present their research and learn about what others are working on. We welcome anyone who would like to present their own research and/or be an audience member for the presentations of others.   

If you plan to attend (whether presenting or not) please fill out the SCAMS signup form  which will help us plan for food and seating. Those who intend to present should fill out the form by Saturday, September 1, 2023, so that we can decide how best to accommodate those who have submitted.  A more detailed program will be announced in late September, but you can consult the 2019 conference to get an idea of what the schedule might look like. 

Please contact scamsconference@gmail.com with any questions.  

• Where to go for information: There will be no printed conference program, so all relevant information will be posted here.
