Conference Locale: Travel & Rooms

Program

The conference will be held at Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp)’s Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem (IEL) in Campinas, São Paulo. Specific details (regarding rooms and scheduling) will be posted ASAP. Follow the link to the left for this information (when it becomes available). 

*Note: travelers arriving from countries outside Brazil will most likely need a visa to enter.

The APL has secured a large block of room blocks at the Casa do Professor Visitante (CPV)—located on campus. To book a room at the CPV, use the following link. When booking simply note that you are attending the APL Conference. These rooms will remain available until all are booked—on a first-come basis.

Another hotel option near campus is Matiz. Otherwise, the major bulk of hotels are found in the downtown area some distance from campus.

Registration Information

Register

All participants must be registered for the conference by June 1st, 2026. After June 1st we will post a final draft of the program; only participants who have registered will be included on the program. No further changes will be made to the program after this date.

Registration fees are listed below. As the success of the conferences depends upon the APL’s ability to recoup costs (related to keynotes, travel, room, AV equipment, food, etc.) we ask all participants to select the highest fee they can reasonably afford.

  • Yearly income over 80,000 USD: $250 USD

  • Yearly income over 60,000 USD: $150 USD

  • Yearly income over 40,000 USD: $125 USD

  • Yearly income under 40,000 USD: $50 USD

Conference participants do not need to be members of the APL to attend or present. However, only active members in good standing can submit article-length versions of their papers for consideration in the next volume of the APL’s Textures series (published by Rowman & Littlefield). Further details about Textures and the submission process are included below. Membership also includes a copy of the latest volume of Textures.

Membership fees are as follows:

  • Professional: $100 USD

  • Student: $75 USD
