The annual SABR convention, which is open to all baseball fans, includes top featured speakers from around the baseball world — front office executives, players, managers, scouts, journalists, historians, and analysts — innovative panel discussions, groundbreaking research presentations, ballgames, the SABR Trivia Contest, and most of all, the opportunity to make and renew baseball friendships over the course of this exciting and memorable event.
SABR 52 will be distinct from its predecessors, as it will feature a Hall of Fame speaker lineup we know you’ll love — including Rod Carew, Tony Oliva, Bert Blyleven, and Jim Kaat — and will be the most accessible and social experience we’ve ever organized as we emphasize SABR’s ability to unite all of us in baseball fellowship.
The upgraded Welcome Reception, presented by Baseball-Reference.com, on Wednesday, August 7 will feature SABR award presentations. The Closing Ceremony on Saturday, August 10 will feature additional SABR award presentations along with a revamped Trivia Contest format, including a new “Immaculate Feud” element and expanded opportunities for participation. We’ll also have new social gatherings, including coffee talks on Thursday and Friday morning, as well as a pre-Twins game happy hour on Friday evening.
Our streamlined registration options below provide for a consistent and accessible experience for all attendees, and the lowest registration price since 2018.
