The New College Conference on Medieval & Renaissance Studies is a biennial event covering all aspects of the European, Mediterreanean, and Near Eastern worlds from approximately 400 CE to 1700 CE. The Conference is usually held the second weekend of March in even years on the historic bayfront campus of New College of Florida, the honors liberal arts college of Florida's State University System.
The twenty-second Conference was held 3–5 March 2022, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Dante Society of America. Mary Floyd-Wilson (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), Jonathan Phillips (Royal Holloway, London), and Lorna Goodison (University of Michigan) were plenarists. No conference was held in 2024.
