Desde 1991, el congreso sobre el español en los Estados Unidos se ha celebrado junto con el congreso sobre el español en contacto con otras lenguas, lo que ha permitido múltiples contactos entre investigadores centrados en el ámbito estadounidense y especialistas de otras partes del mundo hispanohablante. Durante los últimos años, el interés hacia estos temas ha crecido espectacularmente, gracias al reconocimiento público y académico alcanzado por la comunidad hispana en el país. Los dos congresos tendrán lugar los días 15-18 de marzo, 2007 en el campus de Arlington Virginia de la Universidad George Mason, a una milla de Washington DC, con fácil acceso por metro al centro de la ciudad.
