ARSC 2026 Conference (In-Person)

ARSC's 60th Annual Conference will be held May 14-16, 2025 in Memphis, Tennessee at the Sheraton Memphis Downtown and online via Zoom Webinar.

The hotel is just steps away from Beale Street and its many music venues, and Memphis is home to several other sites of interest to music and recorded sound enthusiasts, including Sun Records, Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Graceland, Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Blues Hall of Fame Museum, Memphis Listening Lab, University of Memphis Music Library and School of Music, and Memphis Music Hall of Fame.

The program will include individual presentations, posters, and panel discussions with sound recording scholars, collectors, preservationists, and creators engaged in a broad range of topics that cross geographic, cultural, and collection boundaries.
