Registration
All ACLA members, presenters, seminar organizers, and other attendees must register for the 2025 Annual Meeting. For rates, additional information, and the registration form, visit acla.org/annual-meeting/register.
Travel Grants
In 2025, the ACLA Annual Meeting will be held virtually. This year, we will offer full waivers for registration and membership fees through the travel grant program. If you receive a 2025 grant, the Secretariat will add one conference registration and one year of ACLA membership to your user account. We are particularly interested in helping students and contingent faculty who have no support for conference attendance from their institutions or other sources. For more information on applying for registration and membership fee waivers for the 2025 Annual Meeting, visit acla.org/travel-grants.
Paper Order Selection (Seminar Organizers)
All seminar organizers should select a paper order for each session of their seminars by February 18, 2025 for inclusion in the conference program. To select a paper order, navigate to your ACLA dashboard, click the "Your Event" tab, and review the times and dates for each session of your seminar. Using the drop-down menus, select the papers you accepted to your seminar in the order you’d like them to be presented for each session. When you’re done, click the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen. For more detailed instructions, view the paper order guide here, and email [email protected] with any questions.
