Logistically speaking

Our 2026 convention will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 15-16. Both days start at 9 a.m. PACIFIC time zone and end by 2 p.m. PACIFIC time zone. Breaks are provided!

The Annual General Meeting, the society's business meeting, is scheduled for Saturday morning and is open to members only. Members who cannot attend live on the day will be emailed a proxy statement so they can vote on the relevant questions. That likely will be available in early August.

We will have five presentations and close with the "open forum," where participants can ask questions, share information and tell stories about their research. No agenda.

When all the speakers are confirmed, we'll introduce them and their presentations in posts to this blog. So keep coming back!

And remember, no charge to attend. A real-time AI translation to a language of your choice will be available. And recordings will be available to members after the weekend.

 Questions may be sent to convention-sggee@googlegroups.com.

Save the date!

The 2026 SGGEE convention and Annual General Meeting will be held the weekend of Aug. 15-16 via Zoom. We hope you'll mark your calendar and join us for a program that explores some of the experiences we share as Germans from Eastern Europe -- "The Ties That Bind." This year for the first time, you can turn on the real-time AI translation of the presentations. Screen captions allow you to follow the speaker in the language of your choice. Or use the closed captions to help with hearing. There is no cost to register and attend. Members will have access to the recordings after the convention. Our confirmed speakers will be introduced in coming posts and include some "new faces" to the SGGEE convention program. Revisit this blog over the coming weeks to keep up with the news on registration and speakers.  Questions may be sent to  convention-sggee@googlegroups.com .
