Annual Meeting Proposal Eligibility
AAA membership and registration for the Annual Meeting is not required for anyone wishing to submit a proposal. Participants, if selected for the program, will be required to register for the meeting by Friday, September 09, 2022, and become a AAA member in order to participate.
If a participant is an anthropologist outside the U.S. or Canada, or is a non-anthropologist and plans to present as part the program and does not wish to join the AAA, they will need to complete a request via the Non-Member Guest Presenter Registration Rate Request Form, formerly known as a Member Exemption by Wednesday, May 25, 2022.
Membership
Members: Discounted registration rates are a member benefit, and you must be an active AAA member at the time of registration to receive the discount. To check your membership status, log into Anthro Gateway. You can join AAA online. Check out our updated membership dues page for more information.
Non-members: Non-anthropologists and anthropologists from outside of the US or Canada are encouraged to join AAA to receive the member discount and other benefits. If a participant is an anthropologist outside the U.S. or Canada, or is a non-anthropologist and plans to present as part the program and does not wish to join the AAA, they will need to complete a request via the Non-Member Guest Presenter Registration Rate Request Form, formerly known as a Member Exemption by Wednesday, May 25, 2022. If granted this rate, participants are exempt from the requirement to join the AAA, but then must pay nonmember Registration rates for the meeting.
