AAS and ICAS joint meeting 2011 Hawai’i
It is our pleasure to inform you that the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) and the Association for Asian Studies (AAS)  have a special joint meeting in Honolulu, Hawai’i from 31 March to 3 April 2011. This marks not only the 70th AAS Annual Meeting and the 7th edition of ICAS but will create a new and inspiring platform for Asia scholars from all disciplinary and regional backgrounds.

Must attend event
We have no doubt that this will be a ‘must attend event’. We expect between 3000 to 4000 participants, exhibitors, and visitors to convene at the Hawai’i Convention Center. The meeting will connect with the city of Honolulu by way of an Asia Arts Festival which will be held simultaneously.
