Additional Meetings
Additional Meetings Main Menu
Organizations, persons, or program units wishing to plan receptions and other meetings before, during, or after the Annual Meeting need to make an Additional Meeting Request.
Additional Meetings are important additions to the AAR Annual Meeting program. Please note the deadlines below. No additional meetings of a programmatic nature (i.e., paper or panel presentations) will be scheduled during the ten regular program unit time slots of the Annual Meeting.
Online Additional Meeting Request System. You must be an AAR member to request Additional Meeting space. If you are arranging an Additional Meeting on behalf of an exhibiting company, publishing house, or institution, you may use an Institutional Login; directions will appear on the login page.
Contact the Annual Meeting team if you have any questions.
Policies
Additional Meeting requests are reviewed by the AAR and are granted on a first-come, space available basis.
AAR sessions receive priority scheduling. AAR reserves the right to request scheduling changes due to programming conflicts. No Additional Meetings with academic programming can be held during the regular AAR session programming after noon on Saturday. We make every effort to meet your scheduling requirements; a second choice for date and time for your event helps us accommodate your request.
All food, beverage, and audiovisual needs must be scheduled directly through the hotel facilities and audiovisual vendor. Facilities payment terms apply. Carefully review all facility contracts, especially regarding any deposits and/or cancellation penalties. Please note: AV equipment already in rooms will be unavailable unless prior payment arrangements have been made.
Additional Meetings attendees and participants must be registered for the AAR Annual Meeting. AAR membership is not required to attend or participate in an Additional Meeting.
