Graduate students presenting in Seattle, who have registered^* by posted deadlines (November 16, 2023), and who reside more than 100 miles from the conference venue are eligible to receive the graduate student stipend. The $200 stipend will be distributed on-site after badge pickup. Please feel free to check in at the stipend disbursement counter to confirm your attendance.

Although no formal stipend request application is required, all graduate students must still meet the criteria listed above in order to receive the travel stipend.

*You must be registered in the student registration category to receive the stipend. Students registered in other categories (member, etc.) will not qualify for a stipend.

Each room will be equipped with an LCD projector, screen, and microphone.

We do not provide computers. Session participants should coordinate in advance if each speaker will use their own personal computer or if one computer will be used for presentations. Please make sure to bring your charging cord and dongle connection for your computer to the projector.

The A/V company will provide the appropriate connections to the LCD projector however as adapters vary for most Apple computers, we strongly recommend you bring your own dongle.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT INTERNET:
The AAS will not convert sessions to a hybrid format moving forward. In-person sessions are to be presented as such, and zooming into sessions is not available.

To help you substantiate why you are attending the conference, the AAS provides panel participants (panel chairs, paper presenters and discussants) a personalized invitation letter. Please log into the Speaker Center to download your letter found in the ‘My Presentations’ tab.
