Future Annual Meetings

Selecting a Meeting Site

The Annual Meeting will alternate between virtual and in-person meetings, initially with a one virtual/two in-person pattern beginning with a virtual Annual Meeting in 2028.  To achieve a lower carbon impact, the rotation of sites will follow a Central, East, Central, West, Central, East, Central, West, with virtual Annual Meetings inserted according to the in-person/virtual pattern. Sites in Canada are considered as appropriate within the rotation. 

Meeting sites are usually selected five to seven years in advance. Proposals are solicited, reviewed, and then presented to the ASA Council. Factors which weigh heavily in the Council decision include:

• Attractiveness of city and facility packages, especially room rates
• City location and facilities’ sustainability initiatives and environmental impact
• Air access/service and local transportation services
• Restaurant proximity and diversity
• Geographical rotation
• Sites where attendees are afforded legal protection from discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, socioeconomic status and socioeconomic origins, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, health conditions, political affiliation, marital status, domestic status, parental status.
• Meeting space flow – flexibility, accessibility, and compact as possible
• Extent of unionization and fair labor practices at facilities to be used for meeting space and guest rooms
• Preferred meeting dates
