Annual Meeting: General Information
Reserve Space for Business Meetings and Receptions
Annual Meeting of the American Studies Association, November 18-21, 2010, San Antonio, TX
Space reservations will be accepted starting December 1, 2009 from ASA boards and committees, institutional members, exhibitors, and affiliated groups for business meetings, receptions, and the like, that would take place at the San Antonio convention. The ASA has a hold on meeting and reception space at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio Hotel. The space will be released only to qualified affiliates reserving meeting or reception space through the ASA’s online submission system.
These requests will be handled on a first come, first served, and space available, basis. Requests should be made by January 26, 2010 to guarantee a place on the schedule. Events must be booked no later than April 30 in order to be listed in the program book. Events booked after April 30 will be listed in the on line program.
Your requests for space should be submitted by April 30th through the online submission site click here when it opens on December 1, 2009. Please create a user account and login to the database. Under your submitter menu, click on “submit or edit a proposal.” A link for meeting and reception requests will appear on the menu page. Please be sure to include the following information: (1) requested times, length, and date of function; (2) type of function (reception or business meeting); (3) anticipated attendance; and, (4) name of function, as it should be posted by the hotel.
The ASA’s Convention Director will schedule the event times and dates. It is not possible to guarantee any group a day or time on the program. If notified by April 30, the Convention Director will try to honor schedule requests. The ASA’s meeting planner will send written confirmation and instructions for placing orders to event organizers. The Grand Hyatt San Antonio Hotel, our headquarters hotel, will require any group to receive prior, written approval from ASA before they will proceed with the details of your event. All groups (except ASA boards and committees) are responsible for establishing credit directly with the hotel and will be billed separately from the ASA master account.
Contact: Gabriel Peoples, Conference Director (annualmeeting@theasa.net) with late requests made after April 30, 2010.
