Registration Rate for the 86th Annual Meeting Online
Advance registration for the SAA 2021 Annual Meeting will open in January 2021 and close on March 10, 2021. In the interest of prioritizing greater access to the meeting, the SAA Board elected to discount 2021 registrations by 50%. While prioritizing greater access to the 2021 meeting, this choice will mean that the Society may have fewer resources for other kinds of diversity initiatives in the future.
Regular registration will be available from March 29, 2021, onward.
SAA never sells its attendee list, so any e-mails offering you such a list are spam and should be deleted.

One-Day Passes and Guest Registration
Because the 2021 Annual Meeting is all virtual, we will not be able to offer one-day passes or guest registrations.
Policies
Attendance at the meeting constitutes as an agreement to the Annual Meeting Safety Policy and Code of Conduct including the possibility that a violation may cause one’s termination from participation in the meeting without refund.
Refund Policy
The SAA will refund (in full) anyone unable to attend the Annual Meeting (we may require documentation), or should the SAA cancel its meeting, it will refund all registrations.
Because the decision to cancel the 2021 physical meeting was made after the call for submissions closed, SAA staff will be contacting program participants to confirm participation in the program. Anyone who wishes to withdraw from the program can receive their registration back (in full). We are requesting confirmation (or withdrawal) from the program by January 14, 2021.
After we complete the program, staff will turn to a process to address the difference in registration rates (likely in February 2021). Advance registration fees for those not on the program who elect not to attend after January 15, 2021, will be refunded by the SAA office—minus a $25 processing fee—upon receipt of e-mailed or written request (no verbal requests, please) postmarked by March 10, 2021.
Workshops and excursion fees are nonrefundable. In the event SAA cancels a workshop or excursion from undersubscription, the SAA office will not charge a processing fee and will refund the money in the same form of payment received (such as a credit card payment will be refunded with a credit back to the account.)
