Organize a Field Trip or Workshop

The AAG is currently seeking field trip and workshop ideas for the upcoming AAG Annual Meeting. Field trips and workshops are an excellent way for participants to learn about different areas of geography in an interactive environment. 

Proposals should be submitted by November 20 though late submissions will also be considered.

Anyone interested in organizing a field trip or workshop for the Annual Meeting may contact Samantha Freeman at 703-964-1240 x310 or sfreeman@conferencemanagers.com for assistance or more information.

NOTE: In keeping with the AAG's effort to promote the fair and equal treatment of members, field trips organized by AAG members or specialty groups at the Annual Meeting will, as a rule, be open to all members. In instances where a member or specialty group wishes to organize a field trip that explicitly excludes any group of AAG members, the organizer will petition the AAG Council for an exception to this policy by the date when field trip proposals are due. If Council grants the exception, notice will be given in the AAG Newsletter, along with an explanation of the reason for the exception. Please keep this rule of open access in mind as you organize your field trip.
