AAA is offering a “Virtual Attendance” pilot project in conjunction with the 2019 AAA/CASCA Annual Meeting in Vancouver this November, thanks to a great suggestion from the Members’ Programmatic Advisory and Advocacy Committee.
Virtual sessions will be available during the day/time they run live (see schedule below). For increased accessibility, CART captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided during all virtual sessions. The live sessions will be recorded and made available on the AAA website four to six weeks following the Annual Meeting. We’ll send a link out to all participants as soon as that is set up.
Price for Student Members:$50.00
AAA Member and Department Services Partner Price:$75.00
Non-Member Price:$100.00
