About the 2026 Meeting

The multidisciplinary nature of SNE provides the perfect environment to bring together different perspectives united under the common goal of increasing the understanding of decision making. The 2026 meeting will have plenty of opportunities for talking science, networking, meeting new Society members and exploring Pasadena. We are looking forward to presenting research contributed by our members LIVE and in-person. There will be a blend of poster sessions, talks, symposia, workshops and keynotes.

If you would like more information on the 2026 Annual Meeting, please reach out to us at

Abstract Submission 

Acceptance of an abstract and consideration as an oral presentation or a poster highlight will depend on peer assessments of the quality of the study and the importance of the results obtained for advancing theory and/or practice.  As such, abstracts should include an appropriate level of critical methodological information, such as sample sizes and statistics for experimental studies, parameter ranges explored in modeling studies, and domain definitions in theoretical studies. The presence of this information will be considered as an important factor in the consideration of the submission.

When submitting an abstract for the 2026 Society for Neuroeconomics Meeting, please refer to the Abstract Submission Guidelines below.

  • Ensure your membership is in good standing. Note: It may take up to 2 hours for the abstract submission software to recognize your new membership sign-up or renewal. Please plan your submission timeline accordingly!

How to Submit

All abstracts will be blind reviewed by the Program Committee.

Submissions will be made through the Conference Manager Software and the submitter is required to be a member of the Society for Neuroeconomics.

All early submissions will be considered for a 15-minute slide oral presentation unless the submitter opts out. If your submission is not selected for a slide presentation, the Program Committee will automatically consider it for a poster presentation. A small selection of posters will also be selected for Poster Highlights, five-minute oral spotlight presentations held during the general sessions.

Symposia Submission

SNE is pleased to continue with additional symposium options for submission

Symposia are thematically organized sessions that will be held during the main portion of the conference.  Symposium sessions will include 15-minute presentations by 4 individual speakers that offer unique perspectives on a specific central theme. Symposia should be aimed at researchers who have some familiarity with the topic to facilitate in-depth discussion. Symposia that integrate interdisciplinary perspectives across multiple fields (e.g., presenting a topic with perspectives from neuroscience, economics, psychology, or other disciplines) particularly those focused on research addressing significant societal challenges, are especially encouraged.

When submitting a symposium abstract for the 2026 Society for Neuroeconomics Meeting, please refer to the Abstract Submission Guidelines below.

  • Ensure your membership is in good standing. Note: It may take up to 2 hours for the abstract submission software to recognize your new membership sign-up or renewal. Please plan your submission timeline accordingly!
Abstract Submission Guidelines - Symposia
  1. Each symposium speaker must submit an individual abstract through the Individual Abstract Submission portal. (These will be considered for an oral or poster if the symposium is not selected)
  2. The symposium organizer must submit a general symposium abstract through the Symposium Submission portal. The organizer should be prepared to provide the following information in the submission:
    • title of the symposium
    • abstract format (symposium)
    • detailed abstract (max of 2700 characters including spaces)
      • One (1) overall symposium abstract
        • include a short description of why these 4 abstracts should be considered together for a symposium
        • highlight how the symposium contributes to the diversity of the SNE Annual Meeting speakers and topics
    • a list of the four abstracts that are part of the symposium. List in order of presentation and include the title and first author
    • 1-3 keywords/submission themes that best represent your submission
      • Finance
      • Consumer Behavior & Marketing
      • Game Theory & Strategic Interactions
      • Risk & Uncertainty
      • Intertemporal Decision-Making & Self-Control
      • Social Behaviour
      • Individual & Lifespan Differences
      • Learning & Memory
      • Valuation & Decision Making
      • Emotion
      • Attention
      • Methodological Development
    • NOTE: Abstracts submitted as part of a symposia will also be considered for a talk or poster presentation should their symposium not be selected.

Symposium Evaluation Process

Symposia will be evaluated based on the quality of the separate abstracts, how well the abstracts integrate together (Is the whole greater than the sum of its parts?), and the diversity of the speakers.

The four abstracts will be considered together both for their individual content and for their thematic integration.  If the symposium submission is not selected as a symposium, the Program Committee will automatically consider all the individual abstracts submitted for separate oral or poster presentations.

For any questions about the symposia, please contact our secretariat
