The comference invites colleagues in Asian Studies to submit proposals for organized panels, roundtables, workshops and individual papers. The Committee seeks sessions that will engage panelists and audiences in the consideration of ideas, information, and interpretations that will advance knowledge about Asian regions and, by extension, will enrich teaching about Asia at all levels.

More than 400 panel sessions are expected to be accommodated, allowing many more scholars to be on the formal programme, thus facilitating institutional travel funding and maximizing attendance. Institutions, organizations and affiliated groups are particularly encouraged to submit panel, roundtable, and workshop session proposals for the formal programme, rather than as Meetings-in-Conjunction, which will be limited primarily to business meetings or social functions.
