Using our Academy hotel helps us reach the minimum room block that permits us to obtain reduced prices for our meetings. Failing to meet that block can lead to a substantial cost penalty to the Academy. Please consider impacts on the Academy when considering other housing.
Vaccination Required: To register for the 2023 Annual Meeting, you must be fully vaccinated and provide a copy of your vaccination card with the corresponding ID. NAAL will keep a record of your card through January 6, 2023. After January 6, 2023, all copies of vaccine cards will be purged and deleted. A copy of your card and ID can be emailed to meetings@naal-liturgy.org.
Masking in Public Spaces: All attendees will be expected to wear a mask at all events in public spaces in the hotel, unless actively eating or drinking. Seating protocols will be followed for gatherings at tables and in meeting rooms. Seminars will decide on mask protocols for themselves.
Local Protocols: We will adhere to any additional protocols required by Toronto, the province of Ontario, and the Canadian government. Wearing masks on planes and trains is no longer required, but still strongly recommended.

Denominational Meetings
Full meeting schedule will be available prior to our Annual Meeting.
Seminars are at the heart of our Annual Meeting. These working groups foster the scholarly exchange of our members on a wide variety of liturgical topics. Seminar members actively support and learn from one another in and sometimes across our chosen specialties within the wider fields of liturgical studies and allied disciplines.
Emerging Scholars is a group for liturgy scholars in the early stages of their career, particularly tailored to the needs of those in graduate school up through the first few years of their first permanent position. Anyone is welcome to attend the Emerging Scholars meetings. They provide a space for peer-to-peer networking, advice on writing and job searches, a spotlight on the work of visitors and new members, and an introduction to the work of the Academy, as well as giving emerging scholars a chance to reflect on the future of the Academy. Contact Kim Belcher for more information.
A number of denominations and associations gather in conjunction with our Annual Meeting. Beginning in 2022, these meetings will be held following the annual meeting. Interested participants should contact the meeting organizers directly for more information.
