Held each spring within North America, the AAS Annual Conference is our premiere event with over 3300 attendees, hundreds of sessions, unlimited networking opportunities, a book exhibition and more.

The AAS-in-Asia conferences are intimate gatherings held in a different country within Asia each year. With approximately 1,000 attendees, this is a can’t-miss event for scholars located within and outside of Asia.

Nine regional scholarly organizations of Asianists are affiliated with the Association for Asian Studies and host conferences each year. The regionals are dedicated to building supportive communities of Asianists in the regions in which they operate.

The AAS hosts a dissertation workshop at the Annual Conference and an Emerging Fields workshop each summer. View our link below for more details.
