Annual Meeting Orientation

Thursday, January 6, 3:00–5:00 p.m.

Sheraton, West Ballroom B

The AHA annual meeting can be overwhelming and even alienating for many first-time participants. If you would like a head-start on the meeting, some insight into what really happens at the annual meeting, and the chance to meet a few other historians facing the same challenges, we invite you to this special orientation session with many of the AHA members and staff who help put this meeting together.
