47th Annual Convention
Reunion/Reception Submission Guidelines
Reunions and receptions are social gatherings. Space for university programs, chapters, SIGs, retirement celebrations, and memorials will be provided at no cost; exhibitors, sponsors, and other organizations will be required to pay a room rental fee. ABAI does not provide audiovisual equipment or refreshments; reunion chairs are responsible for arranging these details directly with the venue. Reunions/receptions may only be held on Sunday evening.

Along with the domains, keywords will allow conference attendees to search for topics most relevant to them.
