BUCLD is turning 50 years old! We hope you will join us in November to celebrate this incredible milestone. 

We are pleased to announce that the student-run annual Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD) will be held on November 6-9, 2025. 

Submissions are now closed. Notification of decisions will be released mid-July

We have also planned some exciting events to commemorate this anniversary

• A video tribute that recounts the past 50 years of BUCLD, with opportunities to record your own video at the conference.
• A curated exhibit that displays written memories, pictures, videos, and artifacts.
• A celebratory banquet for interested attendees.
• Special invited symposia that reflect on our progress as a field and chart a course for the next 50 years of research.
• Commemorative swag, merchandise, and so much more!
