LASA Annual Conference 2022
Following feedback from LASA members who thought it was the right time, in November 2022 LASA held its first in-person annual conference since 2019.

The meeting in Birmingham, UK, was over two days; a revised arrangement to support a smooth and safe transition from the online format. An engaging scientific, trade and social programme was put together through the LASA council, section convenors, and from generous contributions from the open call to junior researchers.
