2027 WPSA Annual Meeting

March 25-27, 2026
Pre-Conference Workshops, March 24

Celebrating our 80th Anniversary in Denver, Colorado!

Proposal Deadline: Friday, September 25, 2026


The 2027 meeting of the Western Political Science Association will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center in the heart of downtown Denver from March 25 to 27. This is the first time the association has met in Denver since 2003. The city has changed considerably in those twenty-four years and offers a welcoming location for a conference. Late March can be especially beautiful in Colorado and the conference will be held in an attractive, well-designed hotel. Christopher Stout, University of California at San Diego, is serving as program chair for this meeting. Alena Wolflink, University of Denver, is chairing the Local Arrangements Committee. The University of Denver is helping host the event.
