Annual Conference
The Annual Conference is usually held in March. It is a traditional ‘get together’ of Finnish sociologists.
There has been a certain circulation in the hosting of the National Conference as can be seen in the following table and diagram.

The ‘cycle of Annual Conferences’ is not a complete one; for example in 1969 the Conference was held in Vaasa where "the red flags were hoisted for the first time" (Toivonen 1969, 37); and in 1988 the Conference took place as a boat seminar in the Swedish-ferry ‘Sally Albatross’.
