The 2015 convention will be held in Vancouver from 8 to 11 January. The presidential theme for the 2015 convention is Negotiating Sites of Memory.

All MLA members and others involved in the study or teaching of language and literature must register for the convention to participate in or attend meetings, visit the exhibit hall, take part in job interviews, or reserve hotel rooms at special MLA rates. The convention program will be available in the fall.

The deadline to submit session proposals was 1 April 2014. Notifications about special-session proposals and nonguaranteed-session proposals will be sent in early June.
