The annual meeting of the Association is usually held in the one or two days preceding the Middle East Studies Association of North America's annual meeting, and usually in November.

MELA's annual meeting consists of two parts:

• a program on one or more designated topics
• a business meeting.

All of our members are welcome to attend all or part of our annual meetings and associated events (such as special workshops) sponsored by MELA.
