2026 ACJS Annual Meeting

Join us for the ACJS 63rd Annual Meeting, March 3-7, 2026, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. ACJS President Stephanie Mizrahi is excited to bring you a content-rich program from the theme is “Crises Across the Criminal Justice Landscape: The Nexus of Governance and Responsibility”. This year’s theme aims to use the 25th Anniversary of the tragic events 9/11 to look at how criminal justice has changed in the last two decades. This includes the emerging issues facing the criminal justice system, and — most importantly —the responsibility of the criminal justice system in addressing those issues at home and abroad. Because many of the problems criminal justice academics and practitioners are facing no longer stop at national borders, the conference is going to have a strong international as well as domestic focus. 

Submission Deadline preferred: September 26, 2025
Final Deadline: October 10, 2025
