Registration for the meeting is now open. Note that APS membership is required to register for the meeting. We strongly encourage you to register for the banquet on the night of Saturday the 26th as well. Historically, the banquet has been a great chance to get to know other participants, and we hope to continue that tradition this year. You can pay membership dues and register for the meeting and banquet at the following link:

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City Hotel, at a discounted rate. The Marriott requires that the rooms be booked by April 1st for the discounted rate, but we would encourage you to reserve a room as soon as possible since there are a limited number of them. The hotel is a few blocks from the meeting venue, The Athenaeum of Philadelphia, and it has a convenient hotel bar. You can reserve a room by clicking the following link:

Hotel reservation: Book your group rate for APS Philadelphia.

For those of you who would prefer to make an alternative lodging arrangement, there should be a variety of Airbnb‘s and other hotels in Philadelphia’s Old City or Queen Village.

In an effort to minimize our environmental impact, the APS encourages you to carpool or use public transit. We will release a prospective program next week, with the names and affiliations of conference participants. We encourage you to reach out to others on the program who may be traveling from the same area, if you wish to coordinate your travel plans.

We also want to note a new feature of the APS meeting this year. We plan to have a book table, where participants can show off recent publications. If you have published a book within the last five years, please consider bringing a copy, as well as a flyer to advertise your book. If you choose to do so, please send me the title of your book.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns atjustin.humphreys@villanova.edu.
