Due to the complexities of scheduling a program with nearly 600 sessions and more than 4,000 participants, it is not possible to avoid all conflicts of individual obligations. Participants with multiple commitments may contact their session organizers or ASA Meeting Services staff anytime before March 11, 2011 and request scheduling consideration. Meeting Services staff will try to accommodate reasonable requests, but no guarantees can be given.

Information on the session schedule in general will not be available until April 30, 2010.

Section Scheduling

Section activities are pre-assigned to specific days following a four-year rotation schedule. Section session times on those days will not be finalized until the overall program schedule is completed.

All Section program sessions and Council/Business meetings will be scheduled on the assigned days. Those Sections whose programs are larger than the time slots available on their days will have sessions scheduled on adjacent days. Section Council/Business meetings and Section Roundtable sessions must be held on the assigned days.

Section Receptions

Receptions sponsored by ASA Sections may be held on the first and third evenings of the meeting. For 2011, sections whose assigned program day is August 13 or 14 will have access to reception space at 6:30 p.m. on the evening of August 13. Sections that meet on August 15 or 16 will have reception space made available at 6:30 p.m. on the evening of August 15.

Requests from Section Chairs for reception space at the ASA hotels are due in the ASA Executive Office by March 11, 2011.
